Ingredients
2 cup chicken, cooked (white or dark meat, )
13 oz sour cream
13 oz cream of chicken soup (1 can of con, densed soup)
1 cup ritz cracker pieces (about 1 tube o, f crackers)
2 oz butter
2 tbsp poppy seeds
Directions
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and put it on the bottom of a
casserole dish big enough to hold it.
Combine sour cream and condensed chicken soup in a pan and pour it
over the chicken in an even layer.
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.
Bake at about 325 degrees F. for 20-30 minutes, until the topping is
brown, the sauce is bubbling and the chicken is hot.
NOTES:
* 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...
* 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.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 40 minutes.

The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, there are some books from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich people of those days. For the next few years, the powerful families of the West strove to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are greatly in demand due to better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
