Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Move the oven rack to the middle position to ensure even cooking.

2. Prepare the Chicken

  • Place the chicken breasts side-by-side in a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Ensure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.

3. Prepare the Sauce

  • In a mixing bowl, combine one can of cream of chicken soup and one packet of chicken gravy mix.
  • Stir the mixture together thoroughly until it is smooth and well combined.

4. Add the Sauce to the Chicken

  • Pour the cream of chicken soup mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure to fully cover them with the sauce. Use a spatula or spoon to spread it evenly if necessary.

5. Bake the Chicken

  • Tightly seal the casserole dish with aluminum foil. If the dish came with an oven-safe lid, you can use that instead.
  • Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts, the casserole dish, and the specific oven.

6. Check for Doneness

  • After 45 minutes, check the chicken to see if it is cooked through. The chicken should shred easily with two forks and have an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • If the chicken is not fully cooked, cover the dish again and continue baking, checking every 5-10 minutes until done.

7. Shred the Chicken

  • Remove the casserole dish from the oven using oven mitts.
  • Carefully uncover the dish (watch for steam) and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the casserole dish. Mix it well with the creamy sauce.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed.

8. Serve

  • Serve the creamy chicken casserole immediately while hot. It pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables on the side.

Enjoy your delicious, creamy chicken casserole!

Tips and Tricks

  • No extra water/liquid is needed to ensure the gravy ends up thick since the chicken releases some water as it cooks.
  • Seal the casserole dish tightly with foil or an oven-safe lid before putting it in the oven to lock in moisture.
  • Adjust cook time if necessary, as it can vary depending on oven, dish, and chicken breast size.
  • You can leave the chicken breasts whole instead of shredding them, according to your preference.
