This Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken is an easy chicken dinner that is made in one pot, with a cheesy sour cream sauce.
This last weekend, my husband and I took our first completely kid free weekend away since we started having kids. I had an event in New York at the Culinary Institute of America, so we decided to go out a day early and spend the day in New York City.
There will be more coming on that trip (watch my travel page!!) but oh, how I love that city. I am not a person that normally likes crowds and lots of people, but there is something magical about New York. We didn’t have nearly enough time there – one day is not even close to enough – but it was good to get another taste of the city.
Now that I’m home, I feel like I should feel renewed and full of energy, but like it is often when I go on vacation, I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation. Lots of laundry to do, and I’m sure the kids are going to be crazy today with mom and dad back home. I’m thinking simplicity is going to be the name of the game for the next few days!!
This easy chicken dinner would be perfect for nights like tonight – when you don’t want anything complicated or with tons of ingredients. And it never hurts when something is cheesy and creamy, right?? And since it’s so easy and fast, it gives me time to daydream about my next vacation!

Instructions

Made this recipient exactly how it says it should be made. Definitely could use some garlic salt and other seasonings. After adding my own touch, tasted so good! Would definitely make again! It was a nice what to use the extra sour cream I had in the fridge!

I would also add just a tad more cheese 🙂
