Ingredients:

  • 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken (can use bone-in chicken breasts, but remove skin and plan for longer cooking time - see below)
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 (10 1/2 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
  • optional
  • add 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper to flour dredge

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. Dip chicken in 1/2 cup of the buttermilk, then roll chicken in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper (and optional cayenne pepper).
  3. Melt butter in a 9 x 13 inch pan. (**NOTE: If I am using bone-in chicken, I add a tbsp. of olive oil for the longer baking time. It helps prevent the butter from burning and adds a nice extra flavor.)
  4. Place the dredged chicken in the pan, meat-side down.
  5. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes (1 hour for bone-in breasts). Turn the chicken over and bake for 15 minutes more.
  6. Combine the remaining 1 cup of buttermilk and the cream of mushroom soup.
  7. Pour over chicken and bake for 15 minutes more.
  8. Remove the chicken, place on a platter, and garnish with parsley. Serve with pan gravy.

  10. Our Suggestion: This gravy is so delicious that we sometimes double the gravy part of the recipe to make sure we have enough gravy to go over potatoes, biscuits - or just to drink from a martini glass. Okay, maybe nix that last idea.....but you could. It's that good. Really. There's no such thing as having too much gravy. That's our motto anyway. Enjoy.
