Easy Chicken Whatever!

"Survival for the non-cook. This was the first dish I ever prepared. This has become a staple for my younger "May I come eat at your place?" brother, when the answer is "No, you may not." "Whatever" means to choose whatever condensed soup flavor you wish. My favorite was always minestrone."

  1. I made this using cream of chicken soup and I cooked in a slow cooker. It turned out perfect and was so easy to make!
     
  2. Made this for lunch with friends today. The chicken turned out pretty moist and tender. To save some time I used boneless chicken breast and cooked this in the oven. I also used a cream of mushroom soup and after placing on a bed of brown rice I topped with some sauteed sliced mushrooms. I did find it needed a bit more "sauce" so next time I may use a bit of cream also before baking to make a creamy sauce. Nice lunch for my friends. Thanks Kate!
     
  3. Using 2 skinless thighs for this recipe, we enjoyed this for lunch today with a bowl of Recipe #167012. I used a can of cream of chicken soup with herbs and 1/4 can water. The chicken came out very nice and tender. This is a great recipe requiring minimal ingredients. :)
     
  4. Very easy and tasty too, I doubled the recipe and used a family sized can of cream of mushroom. The only change I made was to fry my chicken for a few seconds with some seasonings before baking. Doesn't get much easier then this, thanks for posting.
     
  5. This was very easy to make, and the flavor was great ( I used cream of chicken soup) but I think it might have turned out better using a slower cooking method. Maybe a crock pot or lower oven temp. I just thought it could have been more tender, but overall a good recipe.
