This stove top chicken breast recipe is tender and delicious in a thick, rich gravy. It’s the pot roast of the chicken world!

My very favorite chicken recipe - it's the best!

This, my friends, is comfort food right here. This stove top chicken breast recipe is something my mom has made for as long as I can remember. Yes – I’m giving you the goods ladies & gents. The family recipe. And you’ll thank me! This chicken breast dish is SO good it is known to my family as “Morgan’s Favorite Chicken”. In fact, I had a rough time coming up with a name for this post, because that’s the only thing we call it!

STOVE TOP CHICKEN BREAST INGREDIENTS

For this recipe you’ll need:

  • Chicken breast – 2-3 breasts (cut in half)
  • Veggies you like (onion, mushroom & carrot work well)
  • 1 can Golden mushroom soup (NOT cream of mushroom) – You can substitute chicken broth. It will still be yummy, but the gravy won’t be as thick.
  • Butter
  • Salt + Pepper
  • Wide egg noodles or rice (cooked, buttered and salted/garlic salted)

HOW TO COOK STOVE TOP CHICKEN BREAST

Browning the chicken on the stove top
Turn chicken once the first side is browned
  1. First, brown one side of the chicken in butter with a little salt and pepper
  2. Next, flip the chicken and turn the stove down a little
  3. Add quartered mushroom, whole or halved carrots, & sliced onions if desired
  4. In a medium sized bowl, mix the can of golden mushroom soup with a 1/2 can of water. Pour it over top. (This will keep the gravy very thick. If you won’t be able to check on it to make sure you have enough liquid as it’s cooking #momlife you can add a whole can, then cook uncovered at the end if the gravy is too thin.)
This is a very easy and delicious chicken breast recipe

5. Put on a lid, and simmer just above low for at least an hour. 1 1/2 hours would be fine.
6. Finally, just before serving, cook up some wide egg noodles or rice to serve it over. You’ll want to butter and salt (or garlic salt) the noodles/rice to make sure they’re flavorful.
7. Don’t forget to spoon some gravy over the plate!

      The golden mushroom soup is easy to find where I love (although about 10 years ago, not so much). I’d love to know if you find it easily, and if you do, how it turns out!! We had our leftovers for lunch today. I think it may be even better the next day.
