30 minSometimes you need dinner on the table in 30 minutes and you don’t want to dirty every pan in the kitchen. This is that recipe.
Chicken breasts cook in the microwave first, then get blanketed in a quick sauce made from cream of mushroom soup, milk, sauteed onions, and butter.
A few more minutes under cover and the sauce thickens up and the chicken turns tender.
It’s not fancy, but it’s fast, it’s satisfying, and it feeds six people with almost no cleanup.
Kitchen Tips
- Use a microwave-safe dish that’s wide enough to lay the chicken in a single layer. Stacking slows down the cooking and gives you uneven results.
- Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes after the final cook. It continues to set up and the juices redistribute so every bite stays moist.
- Serve over egg noodles or rice to catch all that creamy mushroom sauce. It’s too good to leave on the plate.
