Awesome! Just what I was looking for to satisfy my mushroom soup chicken breast craving. I par cooked some celery, onions, mushrooms in a sautéed pan with basic seasonings, and microwaved some little potatoes and carrots to par cook them quicker, then added to the sautée. After the chicken was prepped with the seasonings, I placed the slightly more than half cooked veggies all around the chicken sides, then poured the soup mix on and covered with foil. 1 hour was WAY to long, will try 40 mins next time. Usually bake chicken by itself for 20, so figured an hour was too long, but have to live and learn of course. Will definitely make again, it was amazing and satisfied my hungry mans belly too! Makes a full meal with the addition of potatoes and veggies, and it's pretty too (see pic). Thanks for sharing!
Barbry you let mom know that we loved this recipe!! DH said the chicken breasts were super moist, took on flavors from the soup, and the cekery seeds gave it some impact. Loved it. Served it over steamed wild rice with the sauce YUMMY and brocolli on the side. The simplicity belies the flavors. I will make this again and again especially during the warmer months when I need something simple to put together with things on hand and am not in the mood for a grill night. Really enjoyed this recipe. I subbed in crushed fresh garlic as opposed to garlic powder, used 2 cloves, and browned a tinge before tossing in the mix of soup and 2% milk. This makes quite a bit of sauce and I have some left over to use on rice for lunch today. Made for AUS/NZ Swap Feb12

How do you keep chicken breast from drying out in soup?

Brining is the immersion of meat in a weak solution of salt and water, with or without other flavorings, for hours to days before cooking. Injecting brine into the meat interior speeds the process. The salt penetrates the meat, seasons it, and improves its ability to retain moisture and tenderness.

What can I do with a can of white chicken?

Canned chunk chicken breast can be used in almost any recipe that calls for cooked shredded meat. We love to use it in soups and casseroles because it makes them so quick to throw together. You can also use this canned meat for sandwiches or wraps and to top salads and pasta dishes.
