Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skiness chicken thighs or chicken breasts (about 4–6 pieces)
• 2 cups cultured buttermilk
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and help the chicken cook evenly.

Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Sauce

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and condensed cream of chicken soup until smooth and creamy.

The mixture will be slightly thin but should be fully blended without lumps.

Step 3: Arrange the Chicken

Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.

If using large chicken breasts, cut them in half for faster and more even cooking.

Step 4: Pour the Sauce

Pour the creamy buttermilk mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure all pieces are fully coated.

Step 5: First Bake

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Bake for 35 minutes to help the chicken stay moist and tender.

Step 6: Finish Baking

Carefully remove the foil and spoon some sauce over the chicken.

Return to the oven uncovered and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes until:

• the chicken is fully cooked
• the sauce is bubbling
• the edges are lightly golden
• internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)

Step 7: Rest and Serve

Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.

Serve generously spooned with sauce over mashed potatoes, white rice, or egg noodles.

Variations and Helpful Tips

• Use chicken breasts for a leaner version
• Use cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor
• Reduce buttermilk to 1½ cups for a thicker sauce
• Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden top
• Add steamed broccoli or green beans for balance

• fluffy mashed potatoes
• buttered egg noodles
• steamed white rice
• roasted carrots
• green beans
• warm dinner rolls
• fresh garden salad

It’s the perfect Sunday dinner recipe that feels homemade, hearty, and comforting.
