Baked Chicken Breast with Cream of Chicken Soup
This easy, cheesy baked chicken breast made with cream of chicken soup is full of flavor and comfort. With tender boneless chicken breast and a creamy, golden topping, it’s the perfect cozy dinner with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 2 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts Cut in half lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Mixed Herbs
- 2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 150 g Mushrooms Sliced
- 300 g Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup 1 can
- 150 g Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Parsley Optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for a regular oven or 340°F (170°C) for a fan-assisted oven.
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 thin pieces and place them in a 8x11.5 inch (20x30 cm) casserole dish.
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and mixed herbs. Pour the extra virgin olive oil over the chicken and rub to coat evenly.
- Scatter sliced mushrooms around the chicken. Season the mushrooms with a little salt and pepper. Pour the cream of chicken soup over the chicken and mushrooms, making sure everything is well coated. Bake for 17 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly on top. Return to the oven and bake for another 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top if using, and serve hot.
Notes
Cut the Chicken Breasts Evenly: I like slicing the chicken breasts lengthwise so they cook faster and more evenly in the oven.
Cheese: I go with cheddar because it melts beautifully and adds rich flavor. Sometimes I mix in a little mozzarella too for that extra gooey top.
Soup: I always use a good condensed cream of chicken soup; Campbell’s is my go-to. It gives the sauce a smooth, savory base that really pulls the whole dish together.
Let It Rest a Minute: After baking, I wait a couple of minutes before serving so everything sets nicely and stays juicy.
