Recipe for "chicken-popsd"

NAME

     CHICKEN-POPSD - Chicken casserole with poppy seeds
     This is an easy and good way to use some cooked chicken.   I
     got  the  recipe  from my grandmother, who ``hates to cook''
     but nevertheless seems to do a great job...

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

     500 g     cooked chicken (white or dark meat)
     2 dl      sour cream
     2 dl      canned cream of chicken soup (1 can  of  condensed
               soup)
     250 g     Ritz cracker pieces (about 1 ``tube'' of crackers)
     50 g      butter
     30 ml     poppy seeds

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, and put it
               on  the  bottom  of a casserole dish big enough to
               hold it.
          (2)  Combine sour cream and condensed chicken soup in a
               pan,  and  pour  it  over  the  chicken in an even
               layer.
          (3)  In the same pan, (save dishes!) melt  the  butter,
               and  add  broken-up crackers and poppy seeds.  Mix
               together  and  distribute  over  the  chicken  and
               sauce.
          (4)  Bake at about 160 deg. C for 20-30 minutes - until
               the  topping  is brown, the sauce is bubbling, and
               the chicken is hot.

NOTES

     Somehow this doesn't seem very nutritious.   Serve  it  with
     lots of vegetables.  Broccoli and carrots go well.  Use more
     or less of the ingredients to taste,  or  depending  on  how
     many  you  are serving. Use different soups.  Add mushrooms.
     Add other stuff.  Have fun.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 40 minutes.  Precision: no need  to
     measure.
