Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 packet Dry onion soup mix
  • 1 cup Water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley optional garnish

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper. Place them skin-side up in the baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix, and water (or broth) until smooth.
  4. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken.
  5. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
  6. Remove the foil and continue baking for 25–30 minutes, until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking. You can substitute cream of chicken soup for a milder flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
