Ingredients

Pasta and Chicken

  • 8 oz Fettuccine pasta
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded

Creamy Base

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbling around the edges, and the panko topping is golden brown.

Serving
