This post may contain affiliate links to products I use and highly recommend. You can read my full disclosure .

If you’re looking for an easy weeknight, one pot dish, you must try this Cream of Mushroom Chicken. It uses leftover homemade keto cream of mushroom soup (or canned soup) and a few other ingredients. Ready using a skillet, Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot in about 20 minutes.

Why Make This

  • Uses Homemade Soup: taking the time to make homemade cream of mushroom soup is worth it! The real cream, garlic and spices take the flavors of this dish to another level. The soup can be made ahead and used for this dish as well as my keto green bean casserole.
  • Easy & Quick: This dish requires just one pot and can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. You can even prepare it using your Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot.

Ingredients Needed

  • Cream of Mushroom Soup: I’m using a homemade recipe because it allows me to control the ingredients. This recipe is keto-friendly because it’s thickened with a gluten-free and low-carb alternative to flour and cornstarch. Please see the recipe tips below to see how you might adjust this recipe for canned soup.
  • Chicken Breasts: I’m using boneless and skinless raw chicken breasts.
  • Spices: Italian Seasoning (you could also use 24 Sprinkle Seasoning), Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper
  • Olive Oil: I’m using this to sear the chicken breasts, but you could substitute this for butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil
ingredients needed to make cream of mushroom chicken recipe

How to Make Cream of Mushroom Chicken

  1. Season and sear the chicken breasts: this step is a way to get a nice crust on the chicken. Depending on how large your chicken breasts are, this step might cook your meat all the way through.
  2. Heat the cream of mushroom soup in the same pan you used to cook the chicken.
  3. Add the chicken back to the pan be sure to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees
  4. Spoon soup over the top of the chicken

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

  • Adjust the cook time based on your chicken breasts: I’m using regular boneless and skinless chicken breasts. If you get thin sliced or smaller chicken breasts, the cook time might be different. Be sure to cook the chicken to 165 degrees when you add it back to the soup.
  • Hold the salt until the end: if you’d like to salt to taste or if you’re using canned cream of mushroom soup

Making this with Canned Cream of Mushroom Soup

This recipe was tested with leftover homemade cream of mushroom soup. However, to save time, you might want to use canned soup.

While this recipe wasn’t tested with canned soup, I’d recommend that you hold the salt until the end.

You can then add salt to the entire dish to suit your preferences.

How to make Cream or Mushroom Chicken in a Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot

If you have a Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot you can make this recipe. You’d simply use the air fryer and/or sear/sauté functions.

For the chicken: You can sear the chicken on medium high heat using the “sear/saute” function. Alternatively, you can follow my instructions to air fry the chicken breasts in the air frying cooking basket.

After the chicken is cooked, remove the basket (if you air fried it) and use the sear and sauté function to follow the rest of the steps to make this dish.
