⭐Why You'll Love This Recipe
Simplicity: With just a few ingredients, this dish is perfect for busy weeknights or when you want to make something delicious quickly.
Comfort Factor: The mix of creamy soup, melted cheese, chicken, and mushrooms makes a meal that’s both satisfying and comforting.
Versatility: You can easily change this recipe to fit your taste. Add some chili powder to the creamy mix, toss in veggies like broccoli, or try a different cheese.
One-Pan: Less mess, less stress. Everything bakes together, making cleanup super easy.
Prep in Advance: You can prep it ahead of time and then reheat it in the oven when you're ready to serve.
🧾Ingredients
Here is a list of everything you need:
Chicken Breasts: I am using boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can use skinless and boneless chicken thighs or pork loin instead of chicken breasts.
Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Paprika, and Mixed Herbs: For seasoning the chicken breasts and making the dish more flavorful and colorful.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use extra virgin olive oil in this recipe to coat the chicken with the spices.
Mushrooms: I love using chestnut mushrooms for their earthy flavor and added texture in this chicken dish. White mushrooms works too, or you can swap them for broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or your favorite veggies.
Cream of Chicken Soup: I like to use Campbell's cream of chicken soup for this bake because it makes the dish so creamy and comforting. You can also use mushroom soup if you prefer.
Grated Cheddar Cheese: I like using cheddar cheese because it melts beautifully, adding a gooey, cheesy goodness. You can even mix mozzarella and cheddar together for a tasty combo or grated mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar.
Parsley: I like to garnish with parsley to add a fresh, vibrant touch to the dish.
