Ingredients Overview

Main Ingredients:

• Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well, allowing them to bake up tender and juicy in the creamy sauce.
• Cream of Chicken Soup: Forms the base of the sauce, adding richness and creamy texture.
• Butter: Adds depth and enhances the savory flavors of the sauce.
• Milk: Helps thin out the soup slightly while maintaining a creamy consistency.

Seasonings:

• Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Paprika: Bring out extra flavor in the chicken and sauce.
• Salt and Pepper: Add to taste for a balanced, well-seasoned dish.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, melted butter, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
3. Arrange Chicken in Baking Dish:
   Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
4. Pour Sauce Over Chicken:
   Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
5. Season and Top with Paprika:
   Sprinkle paprika on top for color and flavor. Adjust other seasonings if desired.
6. Bake:
   Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
7. Serve:
   Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with rice, potatoes, or crusty bread to enjoy the creamy sauce.
