I intended to post this recipe weeks ago but I got sidetracked and it fell off my radar until today. I found it on Pinterest, the source of so many of the recipes I’ve tried lately, and it has already made the rounds of some of my favorite blogs: Jacqueline at Purple Chocolate Home raved about it and described it as an “absolute killer” dish. “It’s the ultimate stick-to-your-ribs type of comfort food” was Kay’s comment at Kayotic Kitchen. I’ll add my two cents and say that this is delicious and is a recipe that will be in my regular rotation of family favorites. If you haven’t tried this way of preparing chicken I hope you will give it a try. It’s yummy reheated so be sure to make plenty.
Chicken in a Creamy White Wine Sauce
We loved this chicken dish with pasta and it is wonderful with brown rice or mashed potatoes too. I don’t care for canned soup in most recipes but it works with the other ingredients and makes a delicious sauce. This is a great week day meal and I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute serving this on a special occasion or to company. Garnish with some chopped crispy bacon and fresh parsley if you want to dress it up a bit.
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 7 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can concentrated cream of mushroom soup
- 4 or 5 slices thick bacon
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ⅔ cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 apple, peeled and finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- Season the chicken breasts well with salt and pepper.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet and drain on paper towel. Add some butter and quickly brown the chicken breasts on both sides. Transfer them to a casserole.
- Cook the onion for 3 minutes, then add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, cook an additional 3 minutes. Add the chopped apple and cook for another 3 minutes. Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan. Add the mushroom soup and grated cheese and mix well.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts. Bake in a 350F oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
- Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to the directions on the package. Put the spaghetti in a bowl, place the chicken on top and pour the sauce over all.
Don’t you just want to stick a fork right into the picture and take a big bite? I sure do.

I love chicken dishes….we tend to eat chicken for dinner frequently so I know that I will be trying this recipe!

This is such a soul satisfying dish! The kind that makes you smile when you are finished and want to linger at the table…I will be trying this recipe on the family.

This sounds really good to me and always looking for new recipes.
I will be trying this soon.
This looks mouthwatering!
Cathy, I also saw this and pinned it and have been wanting to try it, but it is a rich dish for one, so I will have to invite a couple of friends over and I will make it. Love that there is not too much butter in it. xo

I normally do not like to cook with soups, but this chicken looks so delicious. Will need to remember this recipe. Thanks, Cathy.

We too eat a lot of chicken so I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing and I hope you feel better soon.

This does look ever so good with that creamy sauce and all the mushrooms. I’ve got to try it-thanks Cathy!
Yes, I definitely wish I could stick a fork into the pic for a bite! Excellent recipe, Cathy! I have to try this one for sure. It’s unique with the apple!
I just printed this out and will make it tomorrow!!!! It looks delicious!!! Thanks. XO, Pinky
Like Pam, I’m sticking in my fork – this looks oh so good.
Larry recently posted..Blogger Party 2012
Yes it certainly does look delicious. I’ve made chicken in the crockpot with condensed soup but I’ll have to try adding those extra ingredients!
Shirley Corwin recently posted..Maple Pecan Chicken
It sure looks good, but I’d have to find a sub for the canned soup – I just can’t stand the stuff.
Karen recently posted..Corn Soup with Chicken and Poblano
I am constantly tempted to cook and bake when I visit here. Another good sounding recipe.
Marilyn recently posted..Collecting? Who me?
I know it is not very gourmet but I love to cook with canned soup every once in a while, just reminds me of growing up. This looks delicious!
Rhonda recently posted..Favorite Things #23 – My Birthday
Ha! We both posted chicken recipes! Yes, this sounds fantastic. I’d have to see how to adapt this without the condensed soup, only because I just don’t buy it any longer. Shouldn’t be too hard, I’d imagine…chicken stock, and flour could do the trick– and extra mushrooms. I’ll give this one a whirl, as I’m trying to cut back on red meat.

I need to make this too, esp. the white wine sauce too! Looks totally yummy!

True comfort food; all the ingredients make me now it will be wonderful.

So you cook the spaghetti same time as you bake the casserole dish and you have this company worthy dish ready in a shade over half an hour… GREAT POST, drooling over the photos
It looks really, really good. I will have to pin this myself. Like you, I don’t like to use cream of either, but once is in awhile…it is ok.

We have company (our house sitters) arriving Wed. late (around 8:00 PM) and I was trying to figure our a dish that would hold. You just solved my problem. Thanks Cathy. I can hardly wait for our trip.
Penny recently posted..Paris on my Mind
Company is coming for dinner tonight, and I have chicken thawing. For a very chilly day, this sounds a perfect way to warm it up, and I have been hungry for pasta the last couple of days.

You are quite right about wanting to stick a fork in this dish. Your photo is so good that it looks like I could.

This menu looks so so yummy! I would even serve this to company! I would like to feature this next week at ON THE MENU MONDAY, could I use your luscious looking picture (with credit to you of course). I can’t wait to make this!!!!
Let me know if I can feature you next week.

You are soooo right. I could eat that picture. Yummy! Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe.
Sold….my oldest daughter loves mushrooms so I will surprise her with a new dish. Plus with the bacon what’s not to love? Can’t wait to try!

I referred to this recipe on today’s post. It was terrific!
Linda recently posted..You Never Know!
Are you supposed to add water to the soup??
Hi Linda – Don’t dilute the soup. It gives a nice creaminess to the sauce on the chicken.
Cathy recently posted..Chocolate Cream Roll
This was a winner. I made it for my husband and he is not a chicken fan. He ate seconds and then warmed leftovers up for breakfast the next day. Thank you for sharing!!!
I’m reading this as I eat the dish. Third time making it. Also found it on Pinterest. For those saying they can’t do the canned soup. I normally don’t use it much myself anymore and normally when I do I’m not thrilled with the results. However, we love this dish! It’s so easy and so good I couldn’t see making the soup from scratch and complicating things. It’s worth trying at least once to see if you agree. Also, fair warning I had some extremely sharp cheddar on hand this time and it’s a little over powering. I normally use sharp, but this time it was too sharp.
Do you use a red apple or green apple? Also, what white wine would you recommend?
Hi Michelle – Either a red or green apple works great. I usually prefer a tart green variety, but either will do nicely. I usually have a chardonnay or pinot grigio on hand but, here again, almost anything would work. Thank you for your comment. Happy New Year.
