All but one thing is good in a chicken breast: it often turns out too dry. To avoid this, you can bake chicken breasts in a creamy sauce, so they turn out very tender and juicy.
This Creamy Chicken Bake recipe will impress you with its taste. Chicken breast in a creamy sauce can be served as a main course, or as a snack. This dish is beautiful, juicy and so creamy.
WHAT COULD BE MORE APPETIZING?
Cooked this way, chicken breast is always soft and juicy. You can season it with any of your favorite fresh and dry herbs. We used onion powder and chives.
Also, if you want to make the Creamy Chicken Bake recipe even more appetizing, just add some cheese and you will get an especially rich taste and a beautiful golden crust.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 to 3 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (I use 4 large breasts)
- 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup (10 3/4 ounces, condensed ) *Or make Homemade Condensed Cream Of Mushroom Soup, using equivalent amount
- 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup (10 3/4 ounces, condensed) *Or make Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup, equivalent amount
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 8 oz can Mushrooms drained (stems and pieces – or use fresh) *optional
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Chives (chopped)
- Few dashes of Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease (non-stick cooking spray) a 9×13 baking dish or similar size.
Place chicken breast in baking dish in a single layer – lightly salt and pepper.
In a medium size bowl mix soups, sour cream, onion powder, mushrooms, chives and water. Next, evenly pour over top of chicken and lightly sprinkle with paprika.
Bake on middle rack, uncovered, for approximately 1 hour, until chicken breast is cooked thoroughly and internal temperature reaches 165-170 degrees f. Cooking time will vary depending on size of breasts. *The best way to make sure the chicken is ready is checking the internal temperature.
When ready, serve with your favorite veggie, like broccoli or green beans and a side of rice or noodles. Be sure to top your rice or noodles with the creamy sauce! Enjoy!
