It was delicious and easy to make, but I changed one thing…..I replaced the Cream of Chicken Soup with Cream of Chicken Soup with Herbs which had more flavor. I got great reviews from my husband.
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
This was excellent! I only used 4 breasts & would have placed them in a smaller dish so casserole would have been deeper. It was only less than 1 inch deep in an 11x 16 pan.
When I’m tired after running around doing errands this is one of my go to recipes because it is so quick and easy! I add a half a bag of frozen mixed vegetables in it so we get our meat and vegetable at the same time. Thank you for the wonderful quick meal my husband loves it as well!
This was really good! And super easy to throw together 🙂 I used a 9×13 pan but it turned out really thin, so going to use a smaller pan next time. Still delicious though!
Hey just an idea what if you double the recipe for the 9×13 pan?? Im going to make it this week..
Made this with leftover Thanksgiving Turkey. Just as delish!
This was amazing💕
Love this recipe & added bag of frozen mixed vegetables as well.
Easy & ready in 35 minutes!
I make this for my family we all like it
Probably would be good with broccoli too.
I was looking for a chicken casserole similar to the one my grandmother made when I was a child, so I tried this one. My family and I loved it!
So glad you all loved it!
I am a little shy on sour cream. What can I use to substitute the rest?
Greek Yogurt works well, or cream cheese would work.
Can shredded cheddar cheese be added to this recipe? If so, how much?
What size dish for casserole?
I typically use a 9×13 size dish.
Okay, so I cooked chicken in my air fryer from frozen and checked the temp, very important! Took maybe 25 min at 360. Shredded the meat and used your recipe! Thought I had egg noodles but didn’t 🥺 used this on top of rigatoni and it worked beautifully 🥰 thank you….made green beans with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese in the fryer to go with it! Thank you
