Cheddar Sour Cream Chicken has a secret ingredient – crunchy potato chips! Easy and filling, this delicious main comes together quickly.
Let’s be honest, I cook nearly every single day and almost always I’m making a new recipe for my family. That means it’s rare that we repeat recipes, but this one is going to be a repeat!
Now, typically, I make a dish and my family eats it, but lately all of our meals have been full of vegetables because I’ve been watching what I’m eating closely.
So, I decided when I made this, I would make exactly enough without leftovers because when I make veggie-filled meals they aren’t really begging for leftovers.
Guess what? As soon as my husband and kids started eating this Cheddar Sour Cream Chicken, they were ALL asking for seconds.
That figures, right? The one time I don’t make extra, they suddenly want extra. Of course they do, because it’s made with cheddar and sour cream potato chips! And I only gave them a side of veggies, not the entire dish of veggies.
I guess I need to be better about variety with them? Maybe warm them up to the all veggie meals?
Let’s get to this dish though because it was well loved. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and then coated them with sour cream and crushed chips. Then, I added butter to the coating – that gives it a juicy taste.
These are so delicious. The key is that if your topping falls off a bit when you are moving them from the pan to the plate, you can easily just press it right back onto the chicken. It gives the chicken an enhanced flavor.
My family eats chicken quite a bit, so it was a nice change from the normal go-to chicken dinner. It can also be made with a variety of chips, so you can mix it up with different flavors.
We use BBQ Chips quite a bit for it too, which has even more of a kick to it with the flavor.
Now, are you ready for a bite? It’s time to enjoy this Cheddar Sour Cream Chicken!
You’ll love it!
