Poppyseed chicken casserole

This recipe makes enough to feed an army! The first time I made it I didn't realize just how much it makes and ended up freezing some. Despite the cream and sour cream it was still great defrosted.
Not exactly health food, but it sure is good!
I hope to put up a picture soon.

Ingredients:
4 boxes Rice a Roni Long Grain and Wild Rice
5 cups cooked chicken, cubed or shredded
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cups cream
2 cups sour cream
2 or 3 tubes Ritz crackers, crushed
3 T butter
Poppy seeds

Directions:
Cook the rice according to package direction and spread in an 11x15 pan. Mix the cream of chicken soup, cream and sour cream together. Place chicken on top of rice and pour sauce on evenly. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Crush the Ritz medium fine and mix with butter. Spread Ritz crackers over casserole. **Bake on lower rack** uncovered one hour at 350 degrees.
You can make this ahead of time and place in the fridge - you'll just need to bake it longer. Don't put the crackers on until just before baking.
