Bring back memories of old fashioned cooking with this deliciously satisfying one dish chicken bake. 
Remember those classic casserole recipes we ate as kids? You know those ones where mom would open up a few cans of good ol’ Campbell’s creamy soup, mix it up with some chicken and noodles in a casserole dish and bake the whole delicious mess together? It was simple cooking and everyone always loved it.
I rarely make these types of recipes…they probably are not the healthiest. But every now and then I crave a throwback comfort meal. Even more so, I crave a one dish dinner that takes little thought and effort and that the whole family gobbles up. This recipe has all the charm of an old-fashioned favorite without all the cream. 
Watch how fast this comes together!
Place 6 boneless chicken breasts in a casserole dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss in a pack or two of sliced mushrooms. I love mushrooms so I use 2 packs of baby bellas.
Top it with 1 can of Campbell’s Golden Mushroom Soup and some water mixed in the soup can. If you desire a bit more sauce, try doubling the soup. You can’t go wrong!
Gently toss and stir to combine.
Now just cover this casserole dish with foil and pop it in the oven.
The sauce should be bubbling when you remove it from the oven. Sprinkle some French’s Crispy Fried Onions over the top.
Bake it uncovered for another 10-15 minutes or until the onion rings are crisp and golden.
If you are indulging and feeding a hungry crew, go ahead and try this with some egg noodles or even a baked potato. The sauce is so tasty, warm and comforting!
Our pieces of chicken are so enormous tonight so I’m pairing them with a little brown rice and some steamed asparagus. Pretty sure the kids all had a spoon in hand ready to scoop up the sauce.
This meal is a stroll down memory lane with the crispy onions and hearty soup flavor. 
You’ll be left feeling satisfied, for sure! And you’ll probably have leftovers, so how great is that!?
Do you make any old-fashioned Campbell’s soup dinners?

I made this for my family but I substituted breasts for boneless skinless thighs added 10 minutes to the bake time and added extra mushrooms served with some baby red mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans total hit!!!
My Mom used leftover chicken, cooked spaghetti, peas, diced onions and cream of chicken soup cooked same way. Great way to feed 3 kids for cheap.
I’m texting this link to my hubby so he can pick up the ingredients on his way home. Beautiful recipe. Your photos are terrific.
Hi Maqhi! You are so kind! Thank you! Enjoy!
Looks incredibly yummy! I can’t wait to try it next week.
Yum! This looks delicious!
This looks like a really good recipe. I love mushrooms, Can’t wait to try it out for myself and family.
It’s a great family dinner! Enjoy!
This sounds delicious! Wonder if there’s a way to reduce the sodium? I’m having to watch my salt intake these days…
Thanks! I’m not sure…perhaps there is a low sodium version of this soup?? I would use that too as I always grab low sodium broth…
This looks so wonderful and simple to boot! Love the vintage vibes of the dish too. Can’t wait to try it!
Yes, vintage! Love that! Hope you enjoy it!
This looks so yummy!! I wish I wasn’t the only one in my house that loved mushrooms. ????. I’ve been able to sneak them into dishes using just the soup but I doubt I could get away with the baby Bella’s. Looks like I’ll be making this dish just for me and I’ll have it for lunch!! ????
My son won’t eat mushrooms but I am able to spoon the sauce without the large baby bellas in it and he still loves the flavor of the soup mix.
This sounds really tasty and easy to make! I am always looking for easy chicken recipes to make for my weeknight family dinners. I will definitely try this one! Campbell’s golden mushroom soup has always been on of my favs but I haven’t had it in so long. Can’t wait to incorporate it into this recipe which I can see being on repeat!
Yay! So happy to hear this…hope you love it like my family does!
I adore mushrooms! I think this sounds like a super tasty comforting meal.
Me too and this dish nails it!
Mushrooms and French Onions sounds so perfect together! I bet this is delicious!
Delicious combo, indeed!
Pinned because I am totally making this next week!
That’s awesome! It is heavenly!
What a great weeknight meal!
Thanks, Rebecca!
This looks quick and easy! A perfect dish for busy nights!
Exactly right! Thank you!
The concept of this dish is great. However I questioned the 50 minute cook time. I put it in for 30 and then another 10 uncovered. Meat was still a little overcooked so I will do 20 next time with 10 mins uncovered. Otherwise great taste!
