Description

Chicken breasts are baked in a creamy, comforting mixture with mushrooms in this family-friendly weeknight dish.

Ingredients

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (7 ounce) can whole mushrooms, drained
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
4 slices Swiss cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until semi-transparent, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and stir until coated. Place chicken in the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from heat.
3 Sprinkle poultry seasoning and cayenne over chicken to coat. Transfer chicken to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with mushrooms and set aside on a warming plate.
4 Combine condensed soup, heavy cream, and buttermilk in a mixing bowl. Stir in onion mixture until combined. Pour over chicken. Cover the tops with Swiss cheese, making sure all areas are covered.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes.
