Poppy Seed Chicken

Living with Matt is never boring. Last year, Matt and his friend Tyson did an experiment to figure out if someone could fail a drug test after eating a poppy seed muffin. They ended up using several batches of poppy seeds, and when we got married, there was still a container of poppy seeds left. Over the last few months, every time I went through our spice cabinets, I kept thinking "Huh, I should use those up." I found this awesome recipe! (Honestly, it surprised me how good it was) Not only did it use up all the poppy seeds, but it was so quick and easy. I might actually buy more poppy seeds to make this again, instead of buying them to check for the morphine content. And don't worry, Matt and Tyson figured out that you will not fail a drug test from eating this dish.
