One of our favorite places to be is in the kitchen. We love to bake and cook and it all stemmed from our mom's passion of cooking. She would find a recipe that she loved, and then make it all year long. We used to say, "That was the year of the cheesecakes" or "That was the year of cinnamon rolls." Some of our fondest memories revolve around cooking together in the kitchen. We love to get together as family and contribute our best recipes for the meal. And we are constantly calling each other saying, "You've got to try this recipe!" We'd like to share our favorite recipes with you. So, happy cooking, happy baking, happy eating, and then happy exercising afterwards to burn those calories!

Poppy Seed Chicken


A few years back when I'd had a new baby, a friend of mine made this dish for me. It is one of those "comfort foods" that just hits the spot. My husband loves chicken and rice dishes, and so this is one he often requests that I make. It is also a "kid-friendly" meal. My kids always clean their plates with this one...it's so yummy!

Poppy Seed Chicken

















INGREDIENTS:

- 4 or 5 chicken breasts

- 2 cans cream of chicken soup

- 16 oz. sour cream

- 2 Tbsp. minced onion

- 1 cup butter, melted (2 cubes)

- 2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crushed

- 2 Tbsp. poppy seeds


DIRECTIONS:

Boil chicken for 30 minutes then chop. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and minced onion. In a separate bowl mix the melted butter, crushed crackers and poppy seeds. In a baking dish, layer first the chicken, then the soup mixture, and on top, spread the cracker mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve over rice. Serves 6.
