Wonderful, Wonderful! The only thing I did different was to cut the salt to 1/4 teaspoon since the cream of chicken soup has plenty of salt for my taste. Since I was out of slivered almonds, I used pine nuts instead. I used plenty of fresh tarragon out of my herb garden. I served this dish over brown rice. Thank you, Papergoddess, for sharing this wonderful recipe. I will be making this over and over again.

Super fast, super simple yet highly tasty meal made from things I always have in the house! I've made this recipe 3 times in the past month (hubby LOVES it), and been thrilled with it each time. The onions are amazingly yummy and I love the crunch of the almonds. The 2nd time I made it I added a scant quarter-cup of sherry and the 3rd time I made it I added the sherry and a small can of sliced mushrooms. I think I'm done adding to what's already a top notch recipe. ;) Oh, and I also do it in the crock pot for 8 hrs on low. I think it would be wonderful with just simple buttered noodles on the side, although so far I've only served it with brocolli (good) and asparagus (even better!).

Very good! I even made this with non fat milk and low fat soup; served this over white rice. Easy.

this is outstanding!! i only used 1 lbs chicken but left the sauce amounts the same. i made a few changes, i used an 8x8 casserole, i diced and seasoned the chicken first, i used more tarragon (about 2 teaspoons total...i might even add a little more next time!), i added about a cup of sour cream and some minced garlic to the sauce, and i garnished the dish at the end with fresh parsley. this was so rich, creamy and delicious !! i thought the flavors were outstanding. this is a keeper. the crunch of the almonds and onions is key. thanks for the keeper, papergoddess!!!!
