Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces Dried beef slices
- 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a small amount of butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3
Rinse the dried beef slices under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Arrange the dried beef slices to cover the bottom of the casserole dish.
Step 4
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and lightly brown the chicken breasts (about 2-3 minutes per side). They do not need to be fully cooked, as they will finish cooking in the oven.
Step 5
Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the dried beef slices in the casserole dish.
Step 6
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 7
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the casserole dish, ensuring that all the chicken is covered.
Step 8
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Step 9
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad.
