In another bowl, combine gently crushed Ritz crackers and poppy seeds.  Gently stir in melted butter and coat completely.  Combine 1/2 of the cracker mix with the chicken mix and gently stir together.  Place chicken mix in a 13x9 inch glass pan sprayed with pam.  Top with remaining cracker mix.  Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
