Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup, 10.5 ounces each
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 packet dry onion soup mix, 1 ounce

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Arrange the bite-size chicken pieces in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and dry onion soup mix. Stir until smooth and creamy.
4. Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken. Spread it evenly so all the chicken pieces are coated.
5. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20 to 25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Let the chicken stroganoff casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce thicken slightly.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this creamy chicken stroganoff bake over buttered egg noodles, fluffy white rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted potatoes. The rich mushroom sauce is perfect for soaking into your favorite side dish.

For a balanced meal, add steamed green beans, roasted asparagus, broccoli, carrots, or a crisp garden salad. Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread are also great for enjoying every bit of the savory sauce.

Tips and Variations

For a lighter chicken casserole, use reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup and light sour cream. The sauce may be slightly thinner, but the recipe will still be creamy and satisfying.

If you enjoy extra mushroom flavor, serve the dish with sautéed mushrooms or stir cooked mushrooms into the sauce before baking.

To make this recipe ahead, assemble the casserole, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, add about 10 extra minutes to the cooking time and make sure the center is hot and bubbling.

Always use fully thawed chicken for even cooking. Store leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours and reheat until hot before serving.

This easy oven baked chicken stroganoff is a comforting, affordable, and delicious dinner recipe your family can enjoy any night of the week.
