Creamy Party Chicken Bake

This is really easy to make and with cream cheese and butter it's really rich. I have served after a funeral with tons of requests for the recipe. Because of the richness I have never made this for a dinner but always at a gathering. You could reduce the butter to 1 1/2 sticks with success, but why do it? It's really good this way. I have seen a couple other chicken casseroles using crackers, but none with all of these ingredients which really make this special. It looks really creamy, but it turns out great.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove; leave the oven on.

  • Place crackers and butter in a pan over low heat. Cook until golden, about 10 minutes. Place on top of chicken mixture and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Cook's Note:

This can be prepared the day before by following up to step 5, allowing to cool, and refrigerating covered. The next day prepare the topping and bake until bubbly and golden.
