Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole

Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole is a creamy chicken dish with a buttery cracker topping. Serve it with a green salad for one incredible meal!

I have always been a casserole lover. They’re easy to throw together and make for a great family-friendly meal. This Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole I’m sharing today is a new favorite of ours. The homemade sauce is what makes the entire dish amazing! 😀

The sauce is creamy and has such great flavor. I think it’s the cream cheese that gives it it’s wow factor! We served ours over bow tie pasta noodles and had a side salad for a complete dinner. It was perfect. My kids loved it, too!
