Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, try adding some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix. You can also switch up the cheese—try using a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack for extra flavor. If you're looking to make this dish a bit lighter, substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. And for a vegetarian version, simply use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken.
