Poppyseed Chicken Casserole

My Grandmama made this poppyseed chicken casserole on Sunday for lunch after church. This classic southern recipe is a family favorite and is so easy and tasty! A creamy chicken filling with a buttery cracker topping is sure to impress!

Tips

  • Use a rotisserie chicken to cut down on the time and add more flavor!
  • My Mama likes to put a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mixture before adding the cracker mixture.
  • Ty likes it served with Crystal hot sauce.
