Ingredients

  • 1 Package Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast 2-3 breasts - cut in half
  • 6 Carrots
  • 6 Mushrooms Cut in quarters
  • 1/2 Onion (optional)
  • 1 can Golden Mushroom Soup You can use chicken broth if preferred, but the gravy won't be as thick. Still tastes great!
  • Butter
  • Salt + Pepper

Instructions

  • Brown one side of chicken in butter with salt and pepper
    Turn chicken once the first side is browned
  • Flip chicken, and add vegetables (mushrooms, carrots, onions)
  • In a medium bowl, mix golden mushroom soup with 1/2 can - 1 can of water (the less water you use the thicker the gravy, but you'll have to check on it while cooking to be sure it has enough liquid)
    This is a very easy and delicious chicken breast recipe
  • Cover. Turn stove to just above low. Simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours - until chicken is fork tender and carrots are fully cooked
  • Serve over buttered and salted wide egg noodles or rice. Use the sauce as a gravy
  • If the gravy isn't thick enough, you can simmer uncovered to cook it down a little
