How do you keep chicken breast moist?
Cover the chicken breasts with a creamy mixture and bake until ready. If you cook longer than necessary, the chicken will turn out dry.
How long should you bake chicken?
I bake the creamy chicken for 40-60 minutes. Don’t forget to check the readiness of chicken breasts using a cooking thermometer. Chicken is ready when the internal temperature is 165°F.
How do I bake frozen chicken?
Just leave the chicken at room temperature for 1 hour to start the defrosting process. Next, drain the thawed water and start cooking.

Notes
Can I use chicken thighs and how long should I cook them.
Hi Karen, of course, you can use chicken thighs. Cooking time depends on the size of the chicken thighs. They should be ready in 40-50 minutes.
I’m wondering if legs and thighs can be used instead of the breasts? Then how long would I cook it!?
Yes, you can use chicken legs or thighs. Cooking time depends on the size of the chicken thighs. They should be ready in 40-50 minutes.
Did you cook it covered?
Hi Nicole! No, I bake it uncovered,
My boyfriend hates sour cream. What can I use instead?
Hi Kim, you can use cream cheese instead of sour cream. Just mix together 3/4 cup cream cheese with 3 tbsp milk and use it instead of 1 cup of sour cream
This was a great chicken recipe! doubled and made exactly as directed, Thank you so much for sharing this excellent recipe!
So glad you loved it so much to leave a comment. I’m honored!
love this recipe! Your share is very awesome. The only thing I’ve noticed is it needs to cook for at least 40-50 minutes, possibly due to the size of the breasts.
Yay!! I’m so glad you’re loving the recipe. Thanks for the 5 stars.
Easy and good means it gets added to my rotation!!! I like to make recipes as instructed first before doing minor changes. I didn’t add the water instead added cream cheese. Just a couple is spoonfuls to keep it creamy!!
Love your addition idea! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming back to let me know!
This was a hit with my whole family including my oldest son who is very picky! Super easy and quick to throw together. Will definitely make this again 😊.
Yay!! I’m so glad they were a hit! Thanks, Jessica
This was very good. I did not add the water, and used fresh mushrooms and also added fresh spinach. I dis jot have chives on hand,, so used parsley and smoked paprika.. Will make again.
Thanks, so glad that you enjoy it, thanks I appreciate the 5 stars
Can you use fresh mushrooms instead of canned mushrooms
Hi Stacey, Yes, you can use fresh mushrooms instead of canned mushrooms. It is noted in tips for this recipe.
This dish is a hit with my husband and its easy for me. Instead of 1/2 cup of water, I added the mushroom juice to an empty soup can, added enough water to fill the can and added a soup can of uncooked rice. One dish meal, just add your salad and veggies! Might have to add a few minutes cook time but not much.
Hi Diana,
So glad you enjoyed it! I look forward to seeing you around the site!
Hi Diana
I like your idea of adding rice. Did you just pour it over the top of the chicken?
Thanks,
Sandie

Did not add water used the gravy over mashed potatoes. I will definitely make this again.
Thanks for coming back to let me know, Debbie. I appreciate the 5 star rating.
Came out a little runny otherwise very good
I’m so glad you enjoy them!
i have mention that in the note; If you want to make this Creamy Chicken Bake with a thicker cream sauce, you don’t need to add water.
It came out very runny. The chicken was really tender, but I think that adding uncooked noodles to the dish before adding the chicken and soup mixture would create a whole meal. I put uncooked pasta (about 2 cups) in the bottom of the dish with the leftovers and let it sit and absorb some of the moisture. Now I have leftovers for tomorrow!
Any suggestions for someone that doesn’t like mushrooms? Not me of course but others under the roof.
Delicious!!!
So glad you enjoyed it, Cathy ❤️
