Here are some tips to ensure your dish turns out perfectly:
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the saltiness of the dish.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken before adding the sour cream.
- For an extra crispy crust on the chicken, sear it for a bit longer before adding the sauce.
How to Serve
This smothered chicken is delicious served with a variety of sides. Try pairing it with:
- Creamy Smothered Chicken Rice for a complete meal
- Roasted vegetables like broccoli or Brussels sprouts
- Mashed potatoes for a comforting combination
- A fresh green salad for a lighter option
Make Ahead and Storage
Prepping ahead? You can prepare the sauce and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to cook, simply sear the chicken and top it with the pre-made sauce and cheese. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
