Tips and Tricks
- If the chicken breasts are on the thicker side, lightly pound them with a meat mallet to flatten them a bit.
- Don’t salt the chicken. The dressing and cheese are plenty salty!
- Be careful when removing the hot dish from the oven, if you jostle it the creamy topping is likely to slide right off.
- If the dressing seems like it is separating a bit when you mix it with the sour cream, stir in a little flour.
