Easy Chicken and Mushroom Dinner

One of the easiest and quickest meals I have ever prepared is probably something many of you have tried.  It's still a favorite in our home and our youngest son, Ryan, requests it at least once a week.  It has only two ingredients, but other things can be added if you want.

6 Chicken thighs (I prefer these for the flavor and moistness of the meat)
1 large can cream of mushroom soup (un-diluted)  The chicken will add the additional moisture needed.

Optional:

1/2 onion - minced
1 stalk of celery - minced
fresh or canned mushrooms - sliced or diced -  I usually add the mushroom.

You can sprinkle cayenne pepper and smoked paprika on top for a little added flavor.

Place the thighs in a casserole dish and top with the soup.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbly.  Remove the foil and allow the top to brown.

Serve it over white or brown rice and add a simple salad on the side.  You have a full meal that takes 5 minutes of prep time.  So when you're stressed for time, try this.  It's been a favorite of my family for over 40 years.

That's it.

  1. Love this recipe, Mike! I'm thinking this would be great in a crock pot too for families who work to come home to a ready to eat meal. :)
