1 cup whole milk
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp dry sherry
1 tsp dijon mustard
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2
Place the chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part, about 15–18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest 5 minutes, then shred or cut into bite-sized pieces.
