World Famous Chicken Casserole

I can say that. A friend from England loves it. In fact, everybody I’ve made this for loves it. So you will too. It’s a super simple recipe, originally gotten off the internet somewhere by my mother, but I lost the recipe years ago.

Start with the ingredients. Chicken, Ritz Crackers, Cream of Chicken soup, Sour Cream, Butter, Lemon Pepper, Poppy Seeds.

Boil and Shred your chicken. Or do like my mom used to do. Skip the boiling and buy a rotisserie chicken from the store.

Mix with the Soup, Sour Cream, and Lemon Pepper (optional, but we put lemon pepper in, oh, just about everything)

Now, for the stress relief! Crush up Crackers in a Zip-loc baggy. Big, small, microscopic, up to you. I do a mix.

If you’re a normal person and own a microwave, dump your butter in a bowl and nuke it. I, however, do not own a microwave so I get to melt my butter the old fashion way!

Once butter is melted add the crushed crackers and poppy seed.

Mix well! Yum, my favorite part! Note: If your crackers look too dry or too moist, you can always add more butter/crushed crackers as needed.

Put everything in a 8×8 casserole dish. I always use a glass one.

Heat until Golden Brown and Bubbly!

Serve and Enjoy!
