Method
Drizzle the chicken with about 2 tbsp olive oil.
Add 2 tsp Creole seasoning and 2 tsp Smoked Paprika to the chicken pieces and mix.
Marinate the seasoned chicken for 1+ hour.
Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the marinated chicken and mix.
For the gravy, combine 8 oz Campbell's cream of chicken and herb soup, 2 cups chicken broth, and 1.5 tsp flour; stir until smooth.
Layer the marinated vegetables and chicken in a baking dish, then pour the gravy over everything.
Cover the dish and bake for 1 hour, then baste the chicken with the gravy, uncover, and continue baking for another hour.
Remove from the oven and serve the tender, smothered chicken.
Tips while you cook
- Marinate for flavor
- Allow the seasoned chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour before baking.
- Smooth gravy first
- Combine the soup, broth, and flour and stir until smooth before pouring over the chicken.
- Baste midway
- After the first hour of baking, baste the chicken with the gravy, then uncover for the second hour.
