Tender Chicken Delight: A Recipe That Will Make You Say "Wow!"

INGREDIENTS

This recipe is all about simplicity, so don't worry about a million ingredients! You'll need just a few key elements to create a culinary masterpiece.

You'll need:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Now, for the fun part - let's get cooking!

Step 1: Prep Your Chicken

Start by patting the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. This will help the chicken brown nicely and create a crispy exterior.

Step 2: Sizzle and Sauté

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.

Step 3: Add Flavor and Depth

Once the chicken is browned, add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Creamy Delight

Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and give it a good stir to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Serve your tender chicken delight over rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.

Tips and Tricks for Tender Chicken Perfection:

Don't Overcook: Chicken is best when it's cooked to perfection – juicy and tender! Overcooked chicken can be dry, so be sure to check for doneness using a meat thermometer. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Flavor Boosters: To add an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite herbs to the sauce. You can also experiment with different types of soup, like cream of chicken or cream of celery.
Make it Ahead: This dish is perfect for meal prep! You can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to eat, simply reheat it on the stovetop.
Spice It Up: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Vegetarian Option: For a vegetarian option, simply substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh.
This tender chicken delight is a recipe that will quickly become a family favorite. Enjoy!
