Diane Hopson's Notes:

Easiest dish to make not to mention how good it taste! Always requested at family gatherings.

This has been a favorite for over 30 years now. My former mother in law shared this recipe with me. She was and is an awesome cook!

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut into bite size pieces; place in a buttered casserole dish. NOTE: I use an 8 X 11 X 3-inch corningware casserole dish.

Mix the soup and sour cream and pour over the chicken.

Crush Ritz cracker, combine with poppy seed and sprinkle evenly over soup mixture.

Melt margarine, and drizzle over crackers.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes until bubbly.

Serve over hot rice. Enjoy!

My 9 x 13" pan was a little too big for this casserole. What size pan do you use?

Stephanie, I'm so glad you enjoyed this dish. It's one of my favorites. I use an oblong casserole dish, it's about 8 X 11-inch and deeper that a regular 9 x 13 inch pan. I will measure this dish as soon as I can and update my recipe to include the measurements.

Hi Stephanie, I just measured my dish. It is an 11 x 8 x 3-inch corningware casserole dish. It doesn't have measurements on the bottom, only thing that's listed regarding the size is 4 liter. Hope this helps. I will update my recipe to reflect size dish to use. Thanks for bring to my attention.
