Ingredients

  • 4 pieces of chicken breast, boiled and diced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (light or fat-free works)
  • 1 cup sour cream (recommend light)
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups (about 1 sleeve) crushed Ritz crackers (or similar)
  • 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1 stick butter or margarine, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix chicken with mayonnaise and sour cream. Spread this in the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  3. Sprinkle cheese, crackers, then poppy seeds on top.
  4. Evenly pour melted butter on top.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes.

Notes

You can easily scale this recipe depending on the number of servings you want (e.g. 3 chicken breasts, ¾ cup mayo and sour cream, etc); use a bigger or smaller pan as necessary to make the chicken layer 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) thick.

You can assemble it ahead of time and refrigerate it, baking it for 35–40 minutes.

If you freeze it before baking, do not add the crackers, poppyseeds, or butter until you are ready to bake it.
