This easy chicken bake makes your everyday dinner a great moment: better and comfy. Creamy chicken bake recipes are perfect for those moments when you are in a hurry after a busy day and need to prep a delicious dinner in less than one hour. Ready to bake chicken breast filets already skinned and deboned are great for the recipe, as they are lean, easy to handle, and cook fast. This recipe also works with chicken tights, although baking time will be longer.
Canned creamy and condensed mushroom soup and chicken soup give lots of flavor to the final sauce and make the cream chicken bake an easy and quick dish. If you have the time, you can instead use homemade creamy soup, adding sliced fresh or canned mushrooms.
Although some recipes will ask you to put the chicken with the creamy sauce into the baking dish and bake all together, this recipe became much more flavorful and with nicer texture when baking the seasoned chicken breast alone for 20 minutes before covering them with creamy sauce and continuing baking for 20 more minutes. When done, the chicken will be moist and tender and the sauce will be creamy and lightly caramelized on top. Serve this creamy chicken bake it with rice, potato purée or pasta only tossed with butter or salad.
