Ingredients

1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless

Instructions

Make the sauce
Preheat your oven to 360ºF (180ºC). Then, line a baking dish with non-stick baking paper.
To start, whisk together the melted butter and flour. Then, slowly add the heavy cream, sour cream, and chicken broth while whisking continuously. The mixture should be completely lump-free and uniform in texture.
Next, add the sliced mushrooms and mix them in well.

Level the top of the dish and sprinkle it with some smoked paprika.

Bake the creamed chicken
Place the chicken in the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake the dish for roughly 40-60 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the creamed chicken from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Once completely cooked, you can serve the chicken breasts with the sauce whole or shredded. Remember to garnish your chicken with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

You can leave out the sour cream completely and substitute it with regular cream instead. If you still want the slightly tangy flavor, you can use plain Greek yogurt, or add some lemon juice.

If you want to make this dish even heartier, add in some diced carrots, corn, broccoli, potatoes, or cauliflower. You can also make it meatier by adding bacon or diced ham.

Do not remove the chicken until it has been fully cooked. Otherwise, you may risk getting food poisoning. Chicken is completely cooked when it is clear and has no more runny pink juices.
