Ingredients

• 4 Whole chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 2 10.5 Ounces (oz) condensed cream of celery soup
• 1 Cup sour cream
• 0.33 Cup white wine
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh parsley, torn

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Season the chicken breasts with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat.
5. In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of celery soup, sour cream, white wine, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
6. Place the seared chicken breasts in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
10. Serve hot over a bed of rice or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish that brings a touch of elegance to your dinner table!
