Creamy Baked Chicken


  • Author: Emma Taylor
  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Tender chicken breasts are baked in a rich, savory sauce made with condensed soups and sour cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (10.5 oz / 298 g) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz / 298 g) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Pour about half of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  4. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer on top of the sauce. Do not overlap the pieces.
  5. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken. Use a spatula to make sure all the chicken is completely covered.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
  8. To confirm the chicken is done, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a breast. It should read 165°F (74°C).
  9. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For food safety, always cook poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For more even cooking, you can gently pound the thicker end of the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness.
  • If you only have one type of condensed soup, you can use two cans of the same kind, such as two cans of cream of chicken.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a bit of color before serving.
