Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 1 10.75 ounces can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 1 ounces package dry onion soup mix
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 250 degrees F and get a 9×13 inch baking dish ready for the chicken.
- Arrange your 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Whisk together 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 package of dry onion soup mix, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until everything is combined smoothly.
- Pour your sauce mixture directly over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece gets coated evenly with the liquid.
- Cover your baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture and heat inside.
- Place the dish in your preheated 250 degree F oven and let it cook for 3 hours until your chicken is tender and completely cooked through.
Notes
- The low 250-degree temperature and long cooking time keep your chicken incredibly moist and tender, so resist the urge to raise the heat or you’ll end up with dry meat.
- Covering the dish tightly with foil traps steam that does all the heavy lifting for you, so make sure there are no gaps or loose edges.
- For a lighter version, swap the cream of mushroom soup and milk for Greek yogurt mixed with chicken broth, which keeps the same creamy texture without the extra richness.
- This dish holds beautifully in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours if your oven schedule is packed, and the results are just as tender and flavorful.
