Creamy Mushroom Chicken
Serves 4
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, or 12 chicken tenderloins
1 box (2 packets) onion soup mix (make sure it's GF)
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a shallow dish, pour both soup mix packets and give a stir. Grease a 9X13 " baking dish. Dip each chicken piece into the soup mix, coating all sides, then place in the baking dish. Pour heavy cream around the chicken. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and add the sliced mushrooms; stir to get the mushrooms down into the cream. Recover and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake last 10 minutes uncovered (total baking time is 50 minutes). Serve chicken with mashed potatoes or rice, and use the mushroom cream as gravy for all.
