Baked Cream of Mushroom Chicken
Description
Baked Cream of Mushroom Chicken features chicken breasts baked under a creamy blend of mushroom soup, sour cream, and Italian dressing mix. The sauce keeps the chicken juicy while infusing it with herbal notes from the Italian seasoning. Baking uncovered allows the edges of the sauce to bubble and develop a slight golden color, and an optional broil step adds a crust of melted Parmesan cheese on top. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper, the dish focuses on the interplay of creamy mushroom sauce and tender chicken.
The texture is creamy and slightly thickened from the sour cream and soup, contrasting the tender, fully cooked chicken breasts. Serving over egg noodles or mashed potatoes helps catch the sauce and round out the meal.
Garnishing with freshly chopped parsley adds a touch of color and freshness. The recipe is easy to make, requiring just baking time until the chicken reaches 165°F internally, ensuring safe and succulent results.
