Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 to 2.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon butter or cooking spray For pan prep
  • Salt and black pepper To taste, for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry and lay them in the dish.
  3. In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth.
  4. Spoon the mixture over the chicken, making sure to cover each piece well.
Baking
  1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  2. After 35 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is fully covered with the sauce to keep it moist during baking. For added flavor, season the chicken with herbs or spices of your choice before adding the sauce. If you want a crispy top, broil the chicken for a few minutes after baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
