Y’all it finally feels like fall around these parts. The weather has consistently been cool and I actually wore a jacket to work the other day!!! YES!!!! I have been craving some comfort food and looked in my fridge and realized I actually had all the ingredients for one of my fave meals…Poppyseed Chicken!!!
I have decided that Poppyseed Chicken is definitely a southern thing. I posted a pic while I was making it and got several emails of “what the heck is that??” LOL!!
Poppyseed Chicken is one of those super easy meals that is great to take to potlucks, to funerals, and when someone just had a baby. It looks weird but tastes AMAZING and once you have had it you will be hooked!
