When Rob was in the hospital a few years ago, my neighbor was so sweet and brought us the best dinner. It was this amazing Poppy Seed Chicken casserole. I finally decided to make it myself and it has become one of my favorite dishes. It’s great to make ahead for those potluck dinners or a freeze ahead meal for those busy week nights.
Looking for an easy dish to make ahead? Make this Poppy Seed Chicken for that busy weeknight ahead.
