Description

This Baked Cream of Mushroom Chicken is a comforting and creamy casserole dish featuring tender chicken breasts smothered in a savory blend of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and Italian dressing mix. Topped with parmesan cheese and baked to perfection, it’s an easy weeknight meal that pairs beautifully with egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3–4 breasts)

Sauce

  • 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Italian dressing mix (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400˚F (200˚C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chicken evenly.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, Italian dressing mix, and milk until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy and flavorful sauce.
  3. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them in a large casserole dish in a single layer.
  4. Assemble Dish: Pour the prepared mushroom cream sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Bake: Bake the casserole uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165˚F (74˚C), indicating it is fully cooked.
  6. Optional Broil: For a golden, crispy crust, broil the dish carefully for the last 2-4 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the baked chicken over egg noodles or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚F for safe consumption.
  • Using freshly grated parmesan cheese enhances the flavor compared to pre-grated versions.
  • Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms for extra mushroom flavor and texture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to prevent drying out.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a slightly healthier alternative.
