Irresistible Creamy Chicken Delight

This easy creamy chicken casserole is my mother’s recipe and a family favorite. It’s one of our comfort foods and regular easy recipes to make through a busy week. Can easily be prepared in advance, then popped in the oven for a nice hot meal. If making for the first time, add half of the sour cream and taste first. Add more if desired, tasting as you go, to reach desired flavor. Serve over cooked white rice.
