Pyrex 9x13 Baking Dish My favorite dish for this casserole
9x13 Disposable Pans For Potlucks, making for others, or just when I don't want to have to wash a pan
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cook and shred or cube the chicken breasts. Alternatively, shred a whole rotisserie chicken.
- Place the chicken in a 9x13 baking dish or disposable aluminum pan and spread evenly.
- Add both cans of soup and the sour cream directly to the pan. Mix together with the chicken until well combined.
- Sprinkle poppy seeds generously over the mixture and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to incorporate.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the pan.
- Layer the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Crush the butter crackers and spread them in an even layer over the cheese.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes.
- Note: If baking alongside another casserole at 350°F, bake uncovered for 1 hour.
- Serve hot straight from the pan.

Notes
Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut — just shred the whole bird and you're ready to go. In a pinch, canned chicken works too — just use enough to fill a 9x13 pan well.
You can swap the cream of celery for any cream soup you prefer — cream of mushroom works great too.
Making this for a potluck or a meal train? Use a disposable aluminum pan so you don't have to worry about getting your dish back.
This casserole reheats beautifully the next day — if there's any left, which in Stephanie's experience there never is.
