Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces Dried beef slices
- 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a small amount of butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Rinse the dried beef slices under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Arrange the dried beef slices to cover the bottom of the casserole dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and lightly brown the chicken breasts (about 2-3 minutes per side). They do not need to be fully cooked, as they will finish cooking in the oven.
Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the dried beef slices in the casserole dish.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the casserole dish, ensuring that all the chicken is covered.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad.
