Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup 10 1/2 ounces
  • 10 1/2 ounces milk
  • 4 medium bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs about 4 ounces each
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Serving Suggestions:
  • Creamy mashed potatoes
  • Boiled and drained shell pasta
  • Palmini pasta

Method
 

Step 1: Prepping the Chicken
  1. Start by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy! This is your chance to add flavor. Heat a touch of olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. 
    Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, to the pot. Sear them for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown. This step is crucial; it adds depth to the dish.
Step 2: Building the Base
  1. After searing, flip the chicken thighs to the other side. Pour in the cream of chicken soup and milk. Stir to combine everything. This is where the magic begins! The soup creates a silky base that will cling to the chicken beautifully.
Step 3: Adding Flavor
  1. Sprinkle in the garlic powder to enhance the flavor profile of the dish. Stir it in, and let everything mingle in the pot for a minute or two. The heat will bring the flavors alive.
Step 4: Simmer Away
  1. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This is the time where the chicken cooks through, and the soup transforms into a rich, creamy delight. Remember to check occasionally and give it a gentle stir.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
  1. Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, remove it from the pot. Let it cool slightly, and then shred the meat with two forks. Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
  1. Your creamy chicken soup chicken is ready to serve! Ladle it into bowls and, if you're feeling adventurous, pair it with your chosen side.

Notes

  • Use Bone-in Thighs: They provide more flavor and moisture.
  • Go Wild with Herbs: Fresh thyme or rosemary can add another layer of flavor.
  • Mix Your Soups: Experiment with different cream soups such as mushroom.
  • Control Your Thickness: If you find it too thick, add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Don’t Rush: Allowing the chicken to simmer gently enhances the flavors significantly.
