This is one of those old-school, potluck favorites—simple, comforting, and surprisingly tasty for just three ingredients.
3-Ingredient Church Supper Chicken
Ingredients
- 6–8 chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or a mix)
- 1 can condensed cream soup (most commonly cream of mushroom soup, but cream of chicken soup works too)
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
Set to 180°C (350°F).
2. Mix the sauce
In a bowl, combine the condensed soup and sour cream until smooth.
3. Assemble
Place chicken in a baking dish. Pour the mixture over the top and spread it to coat well.
4. Bake
Bake uncovered for 45–60 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the top is lightly golden.
Optional (but common at church suppers)
If you’ve got a pantry nearby, people often add:
- A packet of onion soup mix for extra flavor
- A handful of crushed crackers or cornflakes on top for a bit of crunch
Serving ideas
This dish is usually paired with:
- Mashed potatoes or rice (to soak up that creamy sauce)
- Green beans or a simple salad
Why it works
The soup + sour cream combo creates a rich, tangy gravy while keeping the chicken moist—no complicated seasoning needed.
If you want, I can show you how to turn this into a slow cooker version or make it a bit lighter without losing the classic taste.
