Poppy Seed Chicken

It's creamy, rich, and covered in a buttery 
crumb topping. This is a very popular 
casserole in the South. I think it's a favorite 
dish to take to a new neighbor, a new mom,
 or anyone that needs a good comfort dinner.
It's another good way to use leftover roast chicken.
You'll need 2 cups of cooked chicken, cut up and 
seasoned with salt and pepper.
Mix the chicken, soup, sour cream,  half the 
poppy seeds,  and half the crushed crackers. 
This recipe doubles easily. When you do, you can
 use 1 can cream of chicken soup and 1 can of
 cream of celery soup. 
 For the topping combine he remaining crumbs
and poppy seeds with the melted butter.
 Put the chicken in a greased 8X8 casserole. 
Sprinkle on the topping.
 Bake @350º for 30-35 minutes
 until the crumbs are golden.
Serve with rice, a vegetable, and salad.
