Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless thin-cut chicken breasts or tenders
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for serving

Step 1: Prepare and Brown the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.

While the oil is heating, season the chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet.

Brown the chicken on both sides until golden, which should take about 2 minutes per side.

Step 2: Add the Cream of Mushroom Soup

Once the chicken is browned, add the cream of mushroom soup to the skillet, spreading it evenly over the top of the chicken.

Allow the soup to begin bubbling.

Step 3: Simmer and Cook Through

After the soup starts to bubble, cover the pan and lower the heat to a simmer.

Cook the chicken for an additional 5-10 minutes or until it is fully cooked through.

The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Serve

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and serve it hot.

This dish pairs well with noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
