I put this chicken recipe together 35+ years ago – probably based on some other chicken soup recipe. This was back when my son was very young and we did not have a lot of money. I needed a chicken casserole dish to stretch, and this great recipe was easy to make with smaller chicken breasts or larger chicken breasts that come in value packs. It became a go-to recipe in my weeknight dinner rotation. I have mainly served this over white rice, but it is good with mashed potatoes, or it can be served over a small pasta or baked potato if you like.

Tips and variations for making this Simple and Easy Chicken Breast Oven Bake Recipe

● We always use defrosted or fresh chicken breasts. You might enjoy making this with boneless chicken thighs or other deboned dark meat, such as chicken legs. White meat has always been my favorite part of the chicken, so that is what I have always used boneless chicken breasts to make this easy baked chicken recipe.
● I cube the chicken breasts because the recipe bakes faster. If you want to use whole, juicy chicken breasts, adjust your cooking time. Use an instant-read thermometer to determine if your chicken is fully cooked. The internal temperature should be 165ºF according to the USDA.
● This recipe will not work with a whole chicken unless you cut up and debone that chicken.
● This is not a recipe for rotisserie chicken or a roast chicken recipe. This is a chicken casserole recipe.
● You can substitute frozen peas for the broccoli.
● You can add mushrooms too!
● Or mix up broccoli, peas, and mushrooms.
● Fresh broccoli works well if you have it (instead of frozen).
● When you serve, salt and pepper to taste.
● If you find this is bland (it has simple seasonings), try adding a pinch of chili powder, some onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, etc.
● When this Chicken Bake recipe is cooked, it forms a slight “crust” at the pan’s edge and will be bubbling. It is hot!
● We serve this over rice for a rice chicken bake, but you can also use pasta and make it a pasta chicken bake!
● The leftovers will keep for up to 2 days before the soup and milk start to separate.
