My choir director shared this recipe, and it’s the most tender chicken I’ve ever tasted! It only takes 4 ingredients.

If you’d like a slightly lighter version, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese and a healthy request or low-sodium cream of chicken soup; just keep in mind the sauce will be a touch thinner. For a bit of color and freshness, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or chives over the top right before serving—this keeps the ingredient list simple for the main bake while still giving a pretty finish. Bone-in chicken thighs also work beautifully; just add 10–15 minutes to the covered baking time and check for doneness. If your family enjoys a little extra tang, stir a tablespoon or two of grated Parmesan into the sauce before baking. To make ahead, assemble the dish up through spreading on the sauce, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add 5–10 minutes to the initial covered baking time since it will be starting cold. Leftovers reheat well, and the sauce can be thinned with a splash of milk or chicken broth if it thickens too much in the fridge.
