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.
: Precision: no need to measure.

The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and dill. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
