Poppy Seed Chicken

When my Grandma died in 2001 someone brought over a poppy seed chicken dish that was absolutely wonderful. I set out to find a recipe like it and this is the one I came up with. Our family loves this dish!

10 chicken breast
2 cans cream of chicken soup
16 oz. sour cream
5 cups ritz crackers
2 sticks butter (melted)
2 tbsp. poppy seeds
1 onion (chopped)
4 stalks of celery (chopped)

Cook chicken breast in a big pot of boiling water for a couple of hours until chicken is really tender. Take chicken out of water and tear into little pieces. In another bowl put the chopped celery and chopped onion in 2 cups of water and put in microwave and cook until celery is soft. Drain the water off. Spray a 9x13 pan with nontick spray. In a bowl, mix the chicken, cream of chicken soup and sour cream, along with the onions and celery. Dump this mixture into the casserole dish and spread evenly.

Crush crackers and spread on top of chicken mixture. Take the melted butter and pour evenly over the crackers. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until crackers are browned.
