3. Mix the Creamy Base

In a large bowl, combine:

• Sour cream
• Cream of chicken soup
• Milk
• Paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme

Stir until smooth and well blended.

4. Combine Everything

Add the cooked chicken, potatoes, sautéed onion, and garlic into the bowl. Mix gently to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce.

5. Assemble the Casserole

Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it evenly.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

6. Add the Crunchy Topping

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheese layer.

👉 This gives that irresistible golden, crispy finish.

7. Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until:

• The top is golden brown
• The edges are bubbling

8. Let It Rest & Serve

Allow the casserole to sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps everything set and makes it easier to slice.
