Green Chili Poppy Seed Chicken

The first time I had poppy seed chicken was in college. One of my girlfriends made it for one our cheesy movie parties. To me this was a totally new way to serve chicken. I’d never had a casserole like it. My friend game me the recipe and I’ve made it a few times since graduating. The original recipe called for a cornflake topping. I’m not a big fan or cornflakes but I do love a good, crunchy Ritz cracker topping. This time when I made it, I wanted to spice it up a little, so I added green chilies and it was a big hit with my family.

I used all common pantry and refrigerator items, at least common for our house. If you don’t have canned chicken, you can always use rotisserie chicken or any other leftover chicken. I served it with a bagged chopped Caesar salad and some roasted potatoes with onions and bell peppers.

    I made this yesterday with lean pork chops. I used panko instead of cornflakes and had to cook an additional 20 minutes but it was delicious; moist, flavorful and completely not greasy.

      Wonderful! Ovens are often “off” a little and so cooking time can be off by 30 minutes or more……..I’m so glad you liked it!

    I must have been living under a rock for some years as I’ve never heard of poppyseed chicken. I sure does sound good Kelli. BTW, I hope you are doing well health wise.
