Description
This Chicken Breast Supreme recipe is a true family favorite, originating from Lois Fernandez, a dear friend from my old church in New Jersey.

The tender chicken breasts are perfectly seasoned and baked to perfection, with a rich, flavorful sauce thatโs ideal for serving over a bed of rice.

Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Start by sprinkling the chicken breasts generously with seasoned salt and paprika, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
-
Set Up the Pan: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in an 11×7-inch baking dish, making sure they are laid out in a single layer for even cooking.
-
Create the Sauce: In a separate bowl, dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well to ensure the cube is completely dissolved. To this, add 1/2 cup of white wine (or more water if you prefer a non-alcoholic version), 1 tablespoon of instant minced onion, 1 teaspoon of curry powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Mix everything together until the seasonings are well incorporated.
-
Pour the Sauce Over the Chicken: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure the chicken is coated well.
-
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) for 30 minutes. This helps the chicken to stay tender and absorb all the flavors of the sauce.
-
Uncover and Continue Baking: After the initial 30 minutes, uncover the dish and continue baking for another 45 minutes. This step allows the chicken to get golden and slightly crisp while the sauce thickens and intensifies in flavor.
-
Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is baking, itโs time to make the sauce. In a saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup of cold water to form a smooth mixture. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat, stirring constantly.
-
Strain the Chicken Juices: Once the chicken has finished baking, remove it from the dish and set it aside. Strain the juices from the baking dish into the saucepan with the flour mixture. Gradually add the chicken juices into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
-
Thicken the Sauce: Continue to cook the sauce, stirring often, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
-
Add Mushrooms: Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the 3 oz can of sliced mushrooms and let them heat through for a couple of minutes.
-
Serve: Place the chicken breasts on plates, and spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Serve the chicken with steamed rice or mashed potatoes to soak up all the delicious sauce. For an extra touch, add a side salad and some buttery dinner rolls for a complete meal.
-
Enjoy: Sit back and enjoy this flavorful Chicken Breast Supreme thatโs bound to become a favorite in your household!
Tips
- For extra flavor, try marinating the chicken breasts in the seasoning mixture for a few hours before baking.
- Vegetable variation: If you want to add some vegetables to the dish, consider throwing in some sliced bell peppers or zucchini along with the chicken before baking.
- Make it creamy: For a richer sauce, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream after the sauce has thickened.
Whether you’re preparing this for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, Chicken Breast Supreme is a sure way to impress your guests and your family. The combination of perfectly seasoned chicken and creamy mushroom sauce makes this dish a true crowd-pleaser.
