🧀 Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
Salt & black pepper to taste
3 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
12 oz linguini, cooked al dente
(Optional but recommended)
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Fresh parsley for garnish
🍽️ Instructions
1. Prep the Pasta
Cook linguini according to package directions until al dente.
Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Creamy Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes, just until creamy and heated through.
3. Add the Chicken & Pasta
Stir in the cooked chicken and mix well so it’s coated with the sauce.
Add the cooked linguini and gently toss everything together.
4. Bake (Optional But Worth It!)
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
Top with mozzarella and Parmesan for that golden cheesy crust.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned on top.
5. Serve
Sprinkle fresh parsley and serve hot.
Silky, cheesy, creamy perfection in every bite!
