23 Easy Recipes Using Cream of Chicken Soup

1. Creamy Herb Chicken

Tender chicken cutlets covered in a blanket of creamy white sauce is pure decadence.

Just looking at this dish, you can already tell it’s phenomenal.

The sauce – a combination of cream of chicken, sour cream, and milk – is undeniably rich and creamy.

Herbs, spices, and a splash of lemon juice are added to dial it down a little, resulting in a well-balanced flavor and perfect consistency.

As the sauce is thick like gravy, this dish is best chased with starchy sides, such as rice, pasta, and mashed potatoes.

2. Creamy Chicken Bake

If you’re allergic to dry chicken breasts, I feel you. I refuse to take a bite of sad, dull, and rubbery meat!

Thanks to this chicken bake recipe, you’ll never have to worry about tough chicken breast again.

Baked in a creamy sauce, this casserole turns out tender, juicy, and moist 100% of the time.

3. Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Give classic enchiladas some extra oomph with cream of chicken soup!

This recipe is perfect if you’re not too fond of spicy food.

And this casserole has those three ingredients and then some.

Made even creamier with milk and sour cream, this dish is beyond rich and indulgent.

That said, it’s not overwhelming. That’s because the rice absorbs the sauce, leaving you with a perfect harmony of flavors and textures.
