Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 large chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 1 can (10 ¾ oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10 ¾ oz.) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (8 oz.) mushrooms (stems and pieces), drained
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chives, chopped
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the chicken bake evenly.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place the large chicken breasts in the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the chicken breasts to season.
  3. Make Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, drained mushrooms, water, onion powder, and chopped chives. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
  4. Assemble Dish: Spoon the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking pan. Sprinkle the paprika on top for color and a mild smoky flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are fully cooked through. Check internal temperature with a cooking thermometer to ensure it has reached 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve: Once cooked, the creamy mixture will be lightly browned on top. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to verify chicken is fully cooked for safety.
  • The water in the sauce helps thin the soup mixture to create a creamy consistency.
  • Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices like garlic powder or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables to complement the creamy chicken bake.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
