Oven-Baked Angel Chicken (4 Ingredients)
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45–50 minutes
Total Time: About 1 hour
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lb / 900 g)
1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 package (8 oz / 225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 packet (1 oz / 28 g) dry Italian salad dressing mix
Instructions
Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the baking dish
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish so the chicken doesn’t stick.
Arrange the chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the dish.
If some pieces are very thick, gently pound them so they cook evenly.
Make the creamy sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine:
cream of chicken soup
softened cream cheese
Italian dressing mix
Stir or whisk until mostly smooth and creamy.
Add sauce to chicken
Pour the sauce over the chicken and spread it evenly so each piece is covered.
First bake (covered)
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Second bake (uncovered)
Remove the foil and continue baking 15–20 minutes, until:
the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally
the sauce is bubbling and slightly thick.
Rest before serving
Let the chicken rest 5 minutes so the sauce settles and thickens.
Serve
Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken when serving.
