Poppy Seed Chicken

Poppy Seed Chicken is one of those recipes; it’s not the prettiest thing on the dinner table, but wow, is it cozy, creamy, and sure as heck tasty. This old-fashioned Southern casserole is loaded with tender chicken in a rich sour cream sauce, then finished with a generous layer of buttery crackers, with poppy seeds sprinkled throughout for its signature speckled look and subtle nutty flavor. I chose to make the sauce from scratch instead of using canned soup, and honestly, it makes all the difference. You still get all the nostalgic comfort with simple, budget-friendly ingredients, but it tastes a little fresher and more homemade!
