- Cooking spray
- 4 frozen whole chicken breasts
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C). Lightly spray the bottom of a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
Step 2: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared casserole dish, then top them with sliced mushrooms.

This dish turned out fantastic! I absolutely adore mushrooms, but unfortunately, my husband isn't a fan. So, I improvised and made some delicious chicken strips instead, topping them with extra sour cream. Luckily, the chicken was fresh, not frozen.

I found this recipe to be quite enjoyable. Although I typically prefer to follow a recipe as written the first time I make it, my husband has an aversion to mushrooms, so I substituted cream of chicken soup and fresh green beans instead. Rather than heating up the oven in near-100-degree weather, I opted to use the crock pot on low for 8 hours. However, our plans changed when a friend called to invite us out for dinner, so I stored the dish in the fridge for the next day and reheated it in the oven at 200 degrees for approximately 1.5 hours. Although the dish turned out a bit salty, it was still palatable for us. It's possible that it was even saltier on the first day, though.

Fast and convenient, but high in sodium. Next time, I'll opt for low-sodium mushroom soup, add chopped onion, and use low-sodium broth. I also included uncooked rice and 1/2 cup of water in the recipe. I would definitely make this again.

I believe I will skip the onion soup mix next time I make this - it was a bit too salty for me. Apart from that, it was excellent!

The sauce had a wonderful flavor before cooking, but unfortunately, it was lost afterwards. I didn't thaw the chicken beforehand or add any rice.
