This is a family favorite! My husband specifically asks me to make this about every other month because he enjoys it so much. Needless to say, the casserole is always gone the next day 🙂
Thanks so much Ginger for the review! I am so glad you like the recipe.
Can you use rotisserie chicken? Or is it best to use chicken breast?
You can use rotisserie!
Very good for a quick meal
Do you have to use sour cream
I have not made it without. It maybe a little dry if you skip it.
