NOTES : Tried this recipe for the first time tonight. Its a keeper!! The only changes I made was to add about a teaspoon of salt to the sour cream sauce when the chicken was added and a healthy dose of black pepper on my plate. Yum! And of course you want to use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. (To tell the truth, I probably added more than the recipe called for, didnt measure, just grated). Give it a try.
