As a mom on the go, I love casseroles for dinner. They’re quick, easy to throw in the oven, and can usually be created by using a few pantry items I already have on hand.
At the Smith house, poppy seed chicken is a go-to casserole favorite.
It’s hearty enough to feed our hungry crew and everyone loves its buttery crust and creamy combination.
Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole
Another reason I love this casserole is that it’s easy to make to your own liking. And over the years I’ve tried it several ways to experiment with different flavors, too.
So instead of using just the cream of chicken soup, I also include a can of mushroom. And I like to add some celery salt and Worcestershire sauce, reminding me of a lighter version of the dressing I serve at Thanksgiving–but I’ll save that one for another day.
