For $4.87 per serving, you get a main course that serves 3. If you have oregano, chicken breast halves, flour, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the sour cream you could follow this main course with the Sour Cream Apple Pie as a dessert. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for Thanksgiving.
