There's just something about tender, budget-friendly chicken breast generously coated in a warm, buttery sauce that feels both comforting and indulgent.nAt the core, smothered anything is about enhancing the main ingredient with a bevy of spices and a few creamy additions.

In this smothered chicken recipe, a savory sauce of paprika, thyme, garlic, butter, and cream of mushroom soup (speckled with tender onions and mushrooms) takes a classic dinner to new heights. We dressed it up even more with a splash of white wine, which can be omitted by increasing the milk to 1 1/3 cups.

EASY SMOTHERED CHICKEN BREASTS



Easy Smothered Chicken Breasts image

After reading this recipe here, it sounded so good that I had to put my personal touches to it. I'm not particularly fond of chicken breasts unless they're flattened to a pulp and delicately browned after being dredged in flour. After that I followed the original recipe except I added crushed red peppers and Italian seasoning. I served this with fettuccine alfredo and roasted asparagus on the side. Delizioso!

1/2 pound mushrooms
2 tablespoons, chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the chicken pieces. Dredge in flour, and salt and pepper to taste.

  • While the chicken is cooking, slice the mushrooms. Add to the casserole after it has cooked 15 to 20 minutes. Cook for 10 minutes more or until tender. Remove bay leaf. Sprinkle parsley over the chicken, adjust the seasonings and serve with rice, couscous or stuffing.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of dark and light meat chicken pieces.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before browning.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until they are softened.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the sauce is thickened.
