This recipe is perfect!! I had some cranberry sauce on the side and it was like a Holiday feast😊 I’m so glad I found this recipe! It is already being requested again!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Very good recipe! I wanted it to cook a little faster though, so I used already cooked, pre-shredded rotisserie chicken, instead of raw. I also doubled the gravy ingredients (soup, broth, gravy & sour cream), added a half stick of butter (because butter is the secret of life) and it didn’t quite thicken up to where I wanted, possibly because I cooked it quicker, so I thickened it up with a milk/corn starch slurry. I served it over mashed potatoes topped with corn kernels and everyone in my house loved it. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for sharing what worked for you, Jessica! I suspect doubling the gravy ingredients combined with the quicker cook time is what caused it not to thicken up properly. A cornstarch slurry is exactly what I would’ve done!

Another slam dunk in our house. I also think this meal would be good with lime, cilantro, and served with a fresh tortilla.
Sounds like some great add-ins!
