Cream of Mushroom Chicken Breasts

That’s a classic comfort dish—rich, savory, and surprisingly easy to pull off.

🍗 Cream of Mushroom Chicken Breasts

Ingredients:

• 2–3 chicken breasts
• Salt & black pepper
• 1–2 tbsp oil or butter
• 1 can (or ~1 cup) cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup milk or water
• 2–3 cloves garlic (optional, minced)
• 1/2 tsp dried herbs (like thyme or oregano, optional)

🔪 Steps:

1. Season the chicken
   Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear
   Heat oil or butter in a pan and cook chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden (doesn’t need to be fully cooked yet).
3. Make the sauce
   In the same pan, add garlic (if using), then pour in the cream of mushroom soup + milk/water. Stir well.
4. Simmer
   Put the chicken back in, cover, and cook on low heat for 15–20 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
5. Finish
   Taste the sauce and adjust salt/pepper. Sprinkle herbs if you like.

🍽️ Serve with:

• Rice
• Mashed potatoes
• Or even simple buttered noodles

💡 Tips:

• No canned soup? You can make a quick version with milk + sautéed mushrooms + a little flour.
• Add veggies like peas or carrots to stretch the meal.
