Love it! Didn't have sour cream so used ranch dressing. Turned out great.

My family loved this recipe! I think Kelsey might have meant 2 FULL chicken breasts. Most American grocery stores sell half breasts, so I doubled the amount and that worked great with the given amount of sauce and pasta. I did increase the garlic; I sauteed the fresh cloves with the onion and pepper, and added a tsp of garlic powder with the flour when making the roue for the sauce.
