Easy Chicken Breasts in Mushroom Sauce is a super easy recipe using skinless chicken breasts and a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup.
The below recipe is quick, easy, and tasty.
Cooking Tip
Because the skinless chicken breasts are often different sizes, I like to pound the chicken breasts with a cooking mallet so that they are all the same thickness. This way they should get done at about the same time.

Secondly, fresh mushrooms and garlic are added to soup mixture.
Thirdly, the photograph on the left, shows adding the instant rice to the bottom of the pan.
I find garnishing a meal not only makes it taste better but is also a feast to the eyes. I’m adding diced bright yellow pepper, thinly sliced green onion and a dash of dried dill to garnish the top.
Of course, you can get creative and add what ever type of pepper you have on hand. Orange or red peppers also work.
Last step, is to chop up the garnish for the topping.
