Ingredients
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts skin side up in an 11 1/2 x 7 1/2-inch baking dish.
- Combine cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms, sour cream, and white wine in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle generously with paprika.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in white wine and garlic for a few hours before baking. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or a homemade white sauce if desired. If you prefer a lighter dish, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Feel free to add vegetables such as spinach or broccoli to the baking dish for added nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chicken and Wine with a side of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. A fresh green salad or steamed vegetables pairs well for a balanced meal. For a heartier option, consider serving with crusty bread or browse more American recipes for additional sides. A glass of the same white wine used in the recipe makes an excellent pairing.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, microwave individual portions for about 2-3 minutes, checking to ensure they are hot all the way through.
