How to Make My Way Creamy Sauce Chicken Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of sour cream. Gently fold in 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken breast.
  7. Cook 1 pound of linguine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  8. In a large bowl, combine half of the sauce with the cooked linguine. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Pour the remaining sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
