New recipe alert! Actually Poppyseed Chicken is an ‘old’ recipe that was always a staple at every church potluck. Poppyseed Potluck Chicken Casserole is a creamy satisfying dish that is beloved by all ages. It has been a favorite of mine since I was very young, and now my family gobbles it up often. With just a few healthy and convenient substitutions, like rotisserie chicken, low fat sour cream and brown rice – this version is lightened up but loaded in taste!
Potluck Chicken Poppyseed Casserole
Any cooked chicken can be used, but rotisserie chicken is our go-to. It is one of my very favorite, high protein ingredients and nothing helps dig in and chop up the chicken better than a good set of kitchen scissors! Useful in SO many recipes, kitchen scissors are a must have. You will want to make sure you have a plastic ziplock bag handy for this recipe. It will make crushing the cracking topping a breeze – plus easy cleanup!
