Notes
For best results, use pre-cooked chicken. You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option. To store, refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze before baking for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm throughout. Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
