Really good comfort food and a fast work night dinner. I love thyme and that's what made we want to try this recipe. Chicken was very moist and the flavor was nice too.....I did add a bit of greek seasoning but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I'll make this one again, thanks.

This was very good, even better than I had expected as I'm not typically a fan of cream soup. This recipe just intrigued me. I used Panko and added extra seasoning to it - onion powder, small amount of thyme, salt, pepper. I used reduced fat soup and instead of water, I used white wine. I used a bit more than called for, I like a thinner sauce and this seemed very thick. I baked for 35 minutes as I was using boneless breast. The breading does stay a bit soggy on the bottom, but no big deal. You could always turn it if that bothers you. I really liked coating the chicken in the soup mix, it gave it a great flavor. With those change, this is a definite keeper for us, will make again. It has a very homestyle flavor, rather reminiscent of a kicked up chicken and stuffing. Thanks for the recipe.
