Why sour cream?
Sour cream is a yummy, slightly sour (hence the name) dairy product that is created by fermenting cream with the help of lactic acid bacteria. Don’t let the word bacteria scare you—it’s not going to hurt you! This process results in a tangy flavor and a luxuriously thick and creamy texture that is hard to resist. It’s a versatile cream, so it is commonly used in an array of recipes. Using sour cream in your cooking can create a delish smooth gravy sauce that pairs perfectly with the tender chicken in this recipe. So go ahead and indulge in sour cream, but as with all good things, moderation is key!
Can I make it in Advance?
You’ll be pleased to know that you can make this dish in advance and refrigerate it up to 24 hours before baking. However, do keep in mind that it will take extra time to cook since the dish will be chilled. Avoid letting it warm up to room temperature on the counter before baking.
Now, let’s talk about leftovers. If you have any smothered chicken left over, don’t worry – it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to reheat it, simply use the microwave or oven until it’s heated through. Be careful not to microwave it so long as to recook it though, as this could dry out the chicken. And then, voila! You’ll have a delicious meal ready to be devoured.
