Lemon Chicken Casserole

My mom used to use Ritz crackers for casserole toppings all the time when I was little. This Lemon Chicken Casserole is not one of her recipes but as soon as I saw it I thought of her.

The recipe calls for chicken breast halves but I have also made it with shredded chicken and it is just as good and works well for brunches.

• 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1-10 oz. can cream of chicken soup
• 1-1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken in 9 x 13 baking dish. Combine sour cream, soup and lemon juice and pour over chicken.

To Make Poppyseed Chicken Casserole Topping

• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1/2 small box of Ritz crackers
• 1 stick butter, melted

Crumble crackers and mix in poppy seeds and melted butter. Sprinkle topping over chicken mixture. Bake until lightly browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
