This chicken turned out good. If you like chicken and rice dishes, then I think you will like this. I love the flavor of chicken noodle soup and next time I would add extra. I cooked two chicken breasts that I had cut in half, because they were huge, but I made the entire sauce recipe, because I like lots of sauce. The recipe suggested serving over rice pilaf, but I ended up serving over plain rice.
Smothered Chicken
adapted from: This Cookbook
1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter
1 (2.75 oz.) pkg. dry chicken noodle soup mix
1/2 c. water
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
In a large plastic zip-top bag, mix the flour, salt and pepper. Add the chicken and shake to coat with the flour mixture. In a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken. Brown the chicken on both sides. Sprinkle the dry soup mix on and around the chicken pieces. Add the water and the chopped onion. Cook, covered, 30-35 minutes on low heat. Check the skillet periodically and add water if needed. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place in a deep serving dish. Pour the evaporated milk into the skillet, stirring and cooking until your mixture is thick and hot but not boiling. Pour the sauce around the chicken, not over the top, to leave crisp noodles on the chicken pieces. Serve with rice pilaf. Makes 4 servings.
I find it very hard to believe that it's March already! Where has February gone? The days flew by. Haha, I'm experiencing the same thing as you. However, instead of buying cookbooks, I love going ingredient or bakeware shopping. The chicken looks sooo good.
