CHICKEN CONTINENTAL



Chicken Continental image

My mother found this recipe on the can of cream of chicken soup about 35 years ago. She used to make it for Sunday dinners and it was a family favorite. I don't know if the name is made up or if it was the original name on the can of soup. I have seen and tasted similar versions to this, but this is the original and best tasting. It may be a tad more prep time, but well worth the effort.

  • Cooking Temperature: Make sure your chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Resting: Let your chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
