Ingredients

• 2–2½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into large bite-size pieces
• 2 (10.5-oz) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup full-fat sour cream
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus extra for sprinkling
• 1 tablespoon neutral oil or softened butter, for greasing
• Fresh parsley, chopped, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Season the Chicken
   Cut the chicken into large bite-size pieces and pat dry. Arrange in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce
   In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and paprika until smooth.
4. Combine
   Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure all the pieces are well coated. Sprinkle a little extra paprika over the top if desired.
5. Bake Covered
   Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
6. Finish Baking
   Carefully remove the foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered for another 15–20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
7. Rest and Serve
   Let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
