We've been making this for years and love this recipe! We leave off the butter and it does not affect the taste. I also add 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder and 1/2 of onion powder. The recipe doesn't specify this but the sour cream should be 8 oz. Read More

Although this recipe was alright it really wasn't very good... it could have used HALF the crackers on top. They overpowered everything else and it ended up being really dry tasting. I use to have the best poppy seed chicken recipe but I don't know what I did with it! Guess I'll just keep looking:) Read More

A store-bought rotisserie chicken works wonderfully well in this recipe too. GREAT flavor & saves time. Read More

This dish always turns out wonderful! We like to add frozen vegatables to the mix. Just enough so that the sauce still covers everything when you put it in the pan. Smells so good--my husband loves this one! Read More

Definately a keeper! It almost tasted like pot pie. I used fat free sour cream and added frozen broccoli garlic powder and a little pepper. Also I just boiled the chicken. Thanks! Read More

I changed this quite a bit because I wasn't sure how it would taste without adding a little more flavor. I added some milk and wine to the sauce... sauteed the chicken breasts with onions celery garlic and mushrooms (then added them to the sauce)...added some salt and pepper...used garlic ritz crackers etc. All in all it was pretty good and easy....after all it is canned soup.:) Thanks.
