This is comfort food! I first had this meal at my parents church for Wednesday night supper and I told my mom that she needed to get this recipe. Once we realized how easy this casserole is to make; it didn't take long for us to start making this regularly. I absolutely love this recipe! It is perfect for a weeknight dinner and holds up well the next day for leftovers. Even my two year old gobbles this Poppy-Seed Chicken up!
