Saturday Chicken

Words and recipe from:

All you need is about 6 Boneless Skinless chicken breasts, 1/2 pint of whipping cream, paprika, 2 family size cans of Cream of Mushroom soup, garlic salt, dried parsley, and that's all! Along with the chicken, it makes a gravy (and enough of it that you put it on top of mashed potatoes). Oh, oh, oh baby. 

Cut anything ugly off of the chicken and place it in a casserole dish. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with lots of garlic salt and lots of paprika. Optional: sprinkle the top side with a little bit of dried parsley flakes.



In another bowl, stir together the Cream of Mushroom soups and about half a pint of cream. Pour this mixture on top of chicken.  I just add the cream until the condensed soup isn't so thick and is more like a thick gravy.  Aren't you thinking, "this cannot be good"??  You are so wrong.  You will literally want to drink this gravy with a straw.  Pour the sauce over the chicken.  I'm a salt lover, so sometimes I can't help adding more shakes of salt and paprika on top.



Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.



Slightly whisk the gravy around the dish to mix up the flavors. Taste it.  I almost always add even more salt, garlic salt, paprika until I'm super happy.  Serve the extra gravy over mashed potatoes! This is a hundred times yummier than it looks! My husband and I always joke about how ugly this dish is, but how much we both love it!  I will make it until the day I die.
