Servings6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter
- 2 pkgs dry zesty Italian dressing mix or 4 Tbsp homemade
- 1 cup water or chicken broth or white wine
- 2 cans golden mushroom soup 10.75 oz each
- 8 ounces cream cheese with chives softened
- 1 lb angel hair pasta or your favorite pasta
- 8 chicken tenders or 4 breasts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325º Fahrenheit.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Once melted, add in the dressing mix and stir until combined. Next, add the water (or broth or wine) and soup. Stir well.
- Add in the cream cheese and whisk until the cream cheese is well incorporated and smooth. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat but do not boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place your chicken tenders or breasts in a single layer in a 9x13 baking dish. Pour the sauce over the top, evenly covering the chicken.
- Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes for chicken tenders or about 60 minutes for whole chicken breasts. The time will vary depending on what type of chicken you use and how thick the pieces are.
- About 20 minutes before the chicken is done baking, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook your pasta as directed. We usually use angel hair pasta, vermicelli, or thin spaghetti, but any pasta works well for this recipe.
- Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165º Fahrenheit, remove it from the oven. Don't be surprised if the butter has separated slightly after baking. Simply stir it all back together before serving.
- Serve the pasta first, then add one or two chicken pieces of chicken. Drown everything with plenty of delicious sauce. Enjoy!
