Creamy chicken casserole is a very tender casserole with creamy sauce and lots of cheese. The sauce contains sour cream and milk, and this gives the whole casserole a special creamy texture.
I used to think that the casserole is just pasta with something meaty. But now having cooked them at least 100 times, I can write a whole guide to casseroles.
Without a shadow of a doubt, I will say that creamy chicken casserole is at my top.
Chicken and pasta are generously sprinkled with cheese and cream sauce. And red pepper flakes add a special aroma and piquancy to the dish. This is really delicious!
