Loved it! So simple. The one can of celery wasn’t enough so I also added a can of cream chicken. Otherwise, just two extra cloves of garlic (but that’s a personal preference on almost everything). Great recipe as-is 🙂
Mary King
Didn’t make any changes to the recipe and IT WAS DELICIOUS!!
Jonathan Benitez
My family loves this recipe. I am so glad because it’s so simple. I use a bit more cheese and I used cream of mushroom soup. Thanks for this recipes!
Lori Lozano
Definitely a keeper for an easy weekday dinner! I pared the recipe down for two and because the fresh chicken breast was so big, added 15 minutes to get he cook time and covered with foil during that extra time. I’ll be adding seasonings in the future to suit our tastes and this recipe is a great base to start with.

This was a really good PANTRY DINNER….I sliced chicken breast in half…put garlic/herb on both sides…put a can of cream of chix on them…and covered with crushed potato chips and corn flakes–mixed with sharp cheddar cheese….so, yeah a little off the original..but, ..this is good…chicken really moist and a nice tasting gravy…good reviews from my family…
Angela Stone
Great just like recipe is written. However, if you like extra cheese sauce, just add an extra can of cream of celery, chicken, or mushroom soup.
Richard Cuevas
Very simple to make, I changed it a bit, by chopping up the chicken and making it more like a casserole.
Sandra Adams
pretty good. easy and very little effort
Adam Harris
Delicous ! No more words needed!

I made some modifications to make this a bit more homemade. Instead of a can of soup I made a roux with 1/4c butter, 1/4c flour, 1c milk and 1c chicken broth. I poured that over the chicken, added the cheese and then made some homemade croutons with some leftover crossants that were going stale (cut and baked at 400 for 10 mins with olive oil and garlic powder). I added a little italian seasoning to the roux and salted the chix. It was very tasty like this but I think maybe some minced garlic and/or onion in the roux would make it even better. I love the creaminess of using a can of soup but I’m wary of the BPA in the liners of cans so I’m always trying to substitute. This worked well.

I don’t often make casseroles and I wanted something easy. I figured my kids would like it. It was running and the croutons never softened. I will not try this again.
Luke Gonzalez
Very good, but I changed it slightly. I browned my chicken in a bit of EVOO, seasoned with garlic & onion powder. Followed recipe from there except instead of croutons, I sprinkled in about 2-3 Tblsp of Hormel Bacon bits. Baked covered in foil for about 45 minutes & served over egg noodles. Pickiest child on earth loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Meredith Crawford
Love this recipe and will be serving to a group of 12 tonight for dinner. Always a big hit!!
James Mccoy
I used 2 cans of soup and doubled the cheese, only because I like more sauce. Excellent, easy and fast recipe. You can play with the different soups to suit your taste…it’s all yummy. Thanks for sharing. =]

This or a variable of this is a family favorite in our home. In our version we place the chicken breast on the bottom of a baking dish, cover the chicken with Velveeta Cheese, cover the cheese with Prepared seasoned chicken stuffing, then cover the stuffing with cream of celery soup and crushed croutons.
Joshua Rowe
This was really good. I too changed it up some and mixed one can of cheddar cheese soup with one can of cream of chicken soup. Nice change in the line up at my house.
Donald Briggs
Easy and quick. I did use cream of chicken soup instead as I hate celery and crushed Ritz crackers for the top.
Thomas Garrett
Great recipe, I like the fact that you most likely already have the ingredients in your kitchen. I did make a few changes. I used already seasoned Italian chicken breast, quickly browned them in EVOO, and then placed them in oven to finish. I used a mixture of Italian cheeses + a bit of sharp cheddar. I took the suggestions and added garlic powder plus I added some roasted onion flakes. I served it with rice and a salad. My family loved it! I will make again for sure!
Cheryl Evans
This is a very good recipe. I slightly seasoned the chicken with garlic and made it in the crock pot. I just threw all the ingredients in, and set it on high for 4 hours. I served the chicken over egg noodles.
Mark Wells
For a few basic staple ingredients, this was pretty darn good comfort food! Like most reviewers, I used two cans of condensed soup as well (celery & chicken). I spruced up the soup mixture by adding a generous amount of garlic/onion powders, an eyeballed amount of pepper and paprika, 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 c shredded parmesan cheese and a 1/2 c french fried onions. Before I added the french fried onions, I spread a very thin layer of the soup mixture on the bottom of the baking dish before placing the chicken breasts over it. Finally, I covered with foil and baked 45 minutes (I used the thin-cut breasts). The last two minutes, I uncovered and topped with a few more french fried onions and broiled to get a nice crunchy top. Delish! Served with some frozen corn and garlic mashed potatoes. Husband already asked me to make this again, so it’s a keeper for that reason alone. Endless possibilities on this recipe with cheeses, toppings, and veggies…love recipes like this! Thanks for the submission.——–UPDATE 1/14/12……made this again tonight, this time using 1 can cheddar cheese soup & 1 can cream of chicken. Even better!!!!!!
Jerry Reynolds
This recipe is awesome. Moist chicken with a creamy cheesy sauce. Goes great with rice and whichever veggie you decide on the side. Super easy to throw together, not a lot of ingredients and super tasty..don’t forget to spray yor baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Wouldn’t change a thing.
