Chicken on the Ritz

This is one of my mom’s favorite dishes. The delicious creamy chicken flavor, combined with poppy seeds and topped with buttery Ritz crackers for a little added crunch, make this a dish that is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Makes one 9×13″ pan

2 (15 oz.) cans cream of mushroom soup

1 (16 oz.) tub sour cream

1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted

1 box Ritz crackers (4 sleeves), crunched

10 chicken breasts, cooked, cubed

1 (10 oz.) frozen mixed veggies OR broccoli, cooked

2 t. poppy seeds

Boil chicken and season how you like (reserve 1/2 C. broth). Mix the 1/2 C. broth with sour cream, soup and 1 t. poppy seeds. Put cubed, drained, chicken & cooked veggies in 9×13″ baking dish and cover with sour cream mixture. Crunch up the whole box of crackers in a ziplock bag with melted butter and 1 tsp. poppy seeds and pour on top. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 40 min.

    We make one very similar. We don’t put veggies in it (usually have them as a side), and we put lemon juice in. We serve it over rice to make it go farther. It’s a family favorite!

    1. I was just going to ask if anyone has tried this with a different cream soup! I’m the one with the mushroom dislike lol !

  3. Jill, I can’t wait to try this! I think my family will love it and I know I will!! Thank you for sharing your recipes. God bless you and your family!
