Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe uses three main ingredients. Seasonings and a little cooking spray are optional extras.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1½–2 pounds total
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 packet (about 1 ounce) chicken gravy mix
Optional: Black pepper, garlic powder, or a little dried thyme can add extra flavor. Check the gravy mix before adding salt, since packaged mixes can already be salty.
Note: This is a simple Amish-inspired home-style chicken dish. Recipes described as “Amish golden gravy chicken” can vary, so the exact ingredients and method may differ from one version to another.
How to Make Oven-Baked Golden Gravy Chicken
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer. Avoid using a dish that is so crowded that the chicken overlaps.
Step 2: Make the Gravy Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken gravy mix.
The mixture will be thick. If you prefer a thinner gravy, you can add a small splash of water or chicken broth, though this adds an ingredient beyond the basic three.
Stir until the gravy mix is evenly distributed through the soup.
Step 3: Arrange the Chicken
