Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken Casserole is a hearty and comforting dish that combines tender chunks of chicken with a rich, creamy sauce and a generous amount of cheese. The base of the casserole is typically made with cooked, diced or shredded chicken breast, ensuring the meat is moist and flavorful. This protein-rich layer is then enrobed in a luxurious sauce made from a blend of sour cream and a variety of cheeses, often including cheddar for its sharpness and mozzarella for its meltability.
