- Place chicken in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the creamy soup mixture over the chicken.
- If using, add vegetables such as carrots or potatoes around the chicken.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes for a crispy top.
- Check the chicken for doneness; it should reach 165°F in the thickest part.

Notes
For extra crispy skin, switch to broil for the last few minutes of baking. Letting the chicken rest before serving enhances the juiciness.
