Number Of Ingredients 6

4 chicken breasts
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cheddar cheese soup
0.5 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup grated onion
1/4 teaspoon basil (fresh or dried)

Steps:

  • Brown chicken breast in butter or margarine.
  • Add cheese soup, tomatoes, onion, and basil.
  • Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispy and flavorful coating, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • To achieve a golden brown crust, cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it's nicely browned on both sides.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack.
  • To ensure that the cheese is melted and bubbly, cook the chicken in a preheated oven until the cheese is golden brown and melted.
  • Serve the cheese smothered chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
