½ cup Butter melted
2 cups Crushed Ritz Crackers approximately 1 ½ sleeves

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the chicken in the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish.
In a large bowl, 1 cup sour cream, 1 can cream of chicken soup, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds.
Spread this mixture on top of the chicken in the baking pan.
In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup melted butter with 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers.

Notes

You can either make your own shredded chicken breasts or use a Rotisserie chicken and shred the chicken off the bones.

This is a great easy chicken recipe and you can easily add 2 cups of cooked rice into the casserole at the bottom under the shredded chicken. You can also add frozen veggies or fresh broccoli into the casserole before baking to make it a complete meal.

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
