I prepared this tonight, and I thought it was down-right tasty! My daughter loved it too, Husband wasn't wild about it, but - 2 against 1 - we win! I thought it was plenty flavorful, but did add a little salt to the sour cream mixture - also pepper, because pepper is tops in my book. I'm a pro at buttered noodles. I thought the whole thing was delicious, easy, and it didn't have any cream soup in it! Thank you for sharing it.

Total hit with all of my family. I added extra onion because we like onions. I wanted the sauce thicker so I added about 1/2 Tbs of flour to the sauce while simmering. I let it simmer for probably half an hour instead of the time called for. Liked it! My hubby is the cook in our house and he could not figure out what it was made from. Will make again!

Easy to make and tasted good. I halved the recipe, except for using one chicken breast. I also substituted red chili powder for the cayenne, and half-and-half for the sour cream, as that's what I have. I would make more sauce the next time. My roommates commented that the kitchen smelled good when they got home..

Love to read. I collect books and have quite a collection but am always adding more. I have also discovered audio books and find that I am able to get through more books by listening to them.
Have recently started knitting and I really enjoy it even if it is quite a challenge at times.
Always searching for a great recipe in any food category. As might be expected I never find "The One" but find many delicious ones along the way.
