Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a large 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken in prepared baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl stir together mushroom soup, onion soup mix seasoning, sour cream, and lemon juice. Spread sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
  • Bake, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour for bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces or about 30-45 minutes for boneless, skinless chicken. The meat is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Give the sauce a good stir in the dish and serve over buttered noodles, mashed potatoes, rice or crusty bread.

Notes

*I used 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts that totaled about 3 lbs.
  • Cooking for a smaller family? Just cut the sauce ingredients in half, use just as much chicken as you need (about 1-2 lbs.), and prepare the dinner in an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Adjust the total baking time depending on the size and type of chicken that you're using. Whole cut-up chicken pieces with the bone-in will require about 1 hour, while boneless, skinless chicken breast only needs about 30-45 minutes.
  • Bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces will yield juicier meat with more flavor. If you're looking for a quicker cooking time, go boneless! Both options work well.
  • Garnish the chicken and sauce with chopped fresh herbs, lemon slices, or freshly-grated lemon zest. An extra sprinkle of paprika adds great color, too!
