Poppyseed chicken has been one of my most requested dishes by both kids and adults. When my kids were young, they had a lot of friends in the neighborhood and whenever they knew I was making poppyseed chicken, I would always wind up with a few extra friends at my dinner table. I have also had a few moms in the neighborhood ask me for the recipe.
Poppyseed chicken is one of those recipes that is so easy and affordable. You can prepare it the night before and then just toss the topping on and bake when you are ready.
I have used this dish for large parties because of how easy and affordable it is. Not to mention, I haven’t met one person that does not like it. It pairs well with potatoes and rice. I usually just serve a baked potato as my side because it’s so easy.
Tips
You can use chicken breast cut into chunks, but I personally think using rotisserie chicken makes it taste so much better. I also do not use store brand crackers. I only use Ritz crackers. I think it would be okay to use store brand soups instead of Campbells, but I do always use Campbells.
If you have any leftover (which usually doesn’t happen), I suggest heating it in the oven because the topping will be soggy if you heat it in the microwave.
