Tasty Treat: Poppyseed Chicken Recipe

POPPYSEED CHICKEN

The first time I ever had this recipe was our first night home from the hospital with Baby Boy. My boss at the time prepared this and brought it over (what a lifesaver!). I love this recipe because it is super easy to make and doesn't take a lot of prep time. It's a great last minute meal. Thanks for the recipe, Jill!

PREP TIME 15 Min
READY IN 20-25 Min
SERVINGS 4-6 Servings

INGREDIENTS

• 16 oz Sour Cream (I use Light)
  
• 2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup (I use Light)
  
• Poppyseeds
• 4-5 Chicken breasts cooked & diced (I use 2 cans of all white meat chicken)
• Roll of Ritz crackers (I use Reduced Fat)
  
• 3/4 stick of butter (I use Light)
  

DIRECTIONS

Combine soup and sour cream. Add cooked, diced chicken. Blend in desired amount of poppyseeds (I probably use around 2 Tbsp). Crush Ritz crackers in ziplock bag. Melt butter and pour into crackers. Shake to mix. Top casserole with Ritz mixture. Bake in 350 F oven 20-25 minutes until edges are bubbly hot. Serve over rice or noodles. Enjoy!

Tasty Treat: Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe

Curried Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I had this awhile back at a "potluck" brunch with my girlfriends. It is delicious!

PREP TIME 20 Min
READY IN 20 Min
SERVINGS 6 Servings

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
• 1 medium unpeeled red apple, chopped
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder

DIRECTIONS

In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Combine mayonnaise, lime juice and curry powder; add to chicken mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

PERSONAL NOTE

I like to serve my Curry Chicken Salad Sandwiches on a Croissant with a slice of Cheddar Cheese and a leaf of green or red leaf lettuce. I also usually add more curry powder than the recipe requires.
