  6. Remove all ingredients except any remaining liquid in the pan. Set aside.
  7. Deglaze the pan by adding the sherry. Cook for a minute or two.
  8. Add flour and mix; it will be very lumpy. Cook for one minute.
  9. Add chicken broth, whisking to remove any lumps. Cook until mixture thickened slightly.

  11. Add sour cream, whisk.

Prepare the Buttercrumb Topping

  1. Toss the panko breadcrumbs with the garlic powder, paprika, salt and the melted butter.
  2. Sprinkle over the top layer of cheddar and parmesan cheeses.

Bake at 350 degrees (F) for 45 minutes.

I also turn onto broil for 5 minutes at the end to get the breadcrumbs a little more golden brown.
