I stole this recipe for Company Chicken from a cookbook called Trisha’s Kitchen: Easy Comfort Food for Friends & Family. This delicious chicken recipe is fancy enough for company. Chicken is coated with dry Italian dressing mix and then browned in a skillet before being placed in a baking dish. Next mushrooms are cooked in the same skillet, then placed on top of the chicken. Chicken broth is added to the skillet and cooked with cream cheese and cream of mushroom soup. The sauce is poured over the chicken and mushrooms before baking in the oven to finish cooking the chicken. This recipe is easy to make, but looked like you worked hard to make it and tastes even better as leftovers.
The ingredients for this recipe are: 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 4 (6 oz) packets Italian dressing mix, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 2 tbsp butter, 1 lb white mushrooms, ¾ cup dry white wine (or chicken broth), 6 oz cream cheese, 10 ¾ oz can cream of mushroom soup and 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Preheat oven to 350 F. Slice the mushrooms and set aside.
Coat chicken with dressing mix. Then in a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, about 4 minutes.
Turn the chicken, add the butter to the pan and cook until chicken is just golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a large baking dish.
Next add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook.
Stir occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Spoon the mushrooms on top of the chicken.
Pour the wine (or chicken broth) in the hot skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Then stir in the cream cheese and mushroom soup until well combined and heated through.
Next pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms.
Bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
Scoop out the chicken and serve with the sauce and mushrooms.
