Why You’ll Love This Recipe

My mom got the recipe for this Baked Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce from a family friend when I was still in high school. I’m still making it over 25 years later.

That let’s you know how amazing simple and delicious it is. There aren’t a lot of recipes in my collection that have been around that long, but this one is definitely worth the honor.

When I say this chicken dish is destined to become a family favorite, I speak from experience. And who isn’t always looking for simple, delicious new ways to prepare chicken breasts? 

Best of all, it’s an elegant, company-worthy recipe, without being overly complicated. And it uses basic ingredients that you might even have on hand right now.

All you need is a side of rice and a green salad and you’ve got a meal that’s perfect for any day of the week!

I always serve this chicken with wild rice, as I think it’s the perfect accompaniment. But plain white or brown rice work just as well. Egg noodles or your favorite pasta are also great sides to accompany the creamy sauce that smothers this chicken.

The mushrooms, almonds, onions and celery are sauteed for just a moment before adding them to the sauce for great added flavor. And don’t skip browning your chicken breasts.

It only takes a few minutes, but it’s part of what makes this dish extra special.

This recipe is truly one of my favorite ways to prepare chicken breasts. We almost feel like we’re eating in a restaurant when I serve this chicken, but I don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen. And my whole family loves it!

If you’re looking for an amazing new way to serve chicken, these Baked Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce are must try.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has for so many years.
