Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 large chicken breasts boneless skinless
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
Vegetables & Sauce
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1 heaping cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- Chopped parsley optional, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts lengthwise into 4 thinner cutlets. Season them evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance flavor.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil and half the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate.
- Sauté onions: Lower heat to medium. Add the remaining butter and chopped onions to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and lightly browned.
- Cook vegetables: Add frozen mixed vegetables and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to combine flavors.
- Add liquids and soup: Pour in chicken broth and condensed cream of chicken soup, stirring until smooth and well combined.
- Simmer chicken in sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the skillet along with any juices on the plate. Simmer for 5 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender. Add a splash of chicken broth or water if the sauce thickens too much.
- Season and serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use low-sodium condensed soup and chicken broth to control salt levels and adjust seasoning accordingly.
- Ensure chicken breasts are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
- The sauce consistency can be adjusted by adding more broth or water if it becomes too thick.
- Use a food thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F for safety.
