Chicken Poppy Seed Rice Bake
Chicken Poppy Seed Rice Bake - chicken, cheddar, sour cream, chicken soup, poppy seeds and rice - quick and easy weeknight casserole! Use rotisserie chicken and this comes together in 5 minutes! SO good! On the table in under 30 minutes! We make this at least once a week!!
I like to use rotisserie chicken in this casserole. I always have some in my freezer. You could also use some leftover turkey from the holidays. The casserole only takes about 5 minutes to mix together and it is ready for the oven. You can definitely make this ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze it for later.
*I used instant white rice in this dish. You can certainly use brown rice. Make sure to follow the preparation directions on the package of brown rice. Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice.*
