Recipe Instructions:
-
Brown Chicken: Start by browning the chicken in a bit of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until golden brown on all sides, ensuring it’s cooked through.
-
Combine Soups: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups along with one can of chicken broth. Stir well to ensure they are thoroughly mixed.
-
Pour Mixture Over Chicken: Once the chicken is browned, pour the soup mixture over the chicken in the frying pan.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chicken in the soup mixture until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a gravy-like consistency. This typically takes about 15-20 minutes, but ensure to check the chicken’s internal temperature to ensure it’s fully cooked.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened to your liking, remove it from heat. Serve the Cream of Soup Chicken hot, passing the gravy alongside the chicken. It pairs perfectly with rice or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider adding garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the soup mixture.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
- This recipe is easily adaptable for the crockpot. Simply brown the chicken as directed, then transfer it along with the soup mixture to your crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Enjoy your creamy and savory Cream of Soup Chicken, perfect for any day of the week when you need a comforting meal without the hassle!
