I always have chicken breasts on hand because of their versatility and affordability. Plus, it’s one of the only protein sources that my picky daughter will eat. It’s like a blank canvas just waiting for me to create something delicious to eat. 
With the chilly weather upon us, I want comfort food. Casseroles and bakes are on the menu quite a bit during the colder months in my home. I like them because they are easy to make and hard to mess up. They aren’t pretty to look at, but they taste yummy. I think that’s the most important thing anyways.

In this Sour Cream Chicken Bake, the chicken breasts are baked in a sour cream mushroom sauce. Serve it with some rice so you can sop up all that yummy sauce. 

If you want to make it lower carb, don’t dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.

      Has any added a can of green chilis to this? I wonder how they would mesh with the paprika

      1. Yes, as well as quarters of artichoke hearts! Yum!

    2. I made this recipe last night and it was very good. One thing that was different for me is I added the 2 cups sour cream and one can cream of mushroom soup and it was very thick. It didn’t completely cover the chicken and it was done cooking it did not look the way your pan looked. Is there a liquid portion that I missed adding?

    3. 4 stars
      Yes good recipe. Will be making it again I’m sure. Thanks!

    4. What about adding rice to the casserole dish and then everything on top ?
