Your favorite Poppyseed Chicken recipe...made for the freezer. This is a layer of chicken, creamy “cream of soups” sauce, shredded cheese and buttery crushed crackers (with poppyseeds!) Because the shredded cheese acts as a ‘barrier’ between the creamy sauce and the crackers, you don’t have to worry about them getting soggy. Let this thaw, then slow cook to perfection. Everyone will love this amazing dish!
