So, if you’re looking for an easy weeknight meal or something to impress your family with, I recommend trying this Dutch Oven Chicken Supreme recipe.
This chicken recipe includes chicken, cheese, celery, onion, mushroom soup, eggs, salt, and pepper. The recipe is easy to make and quick. It is a good meal for picky eaters. It is also a one-pot, so it’s easy to clean up.
Ingredients Overview
This Dutch oven chicken recipe uses hearty and filling ingredients that leave your family sated and content. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need:
Boneless Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs are used in this recipe because they become more tender than chicken breast. They also have a lot of healthy fats, which help to keep you feeling full after eating the dish. Additionally, chicken thighs are relatively inexpensive, so this is a budget-friendly meal option.
Why I don’t use boneless chicken breasts in this recipe? Because I make the recipe family-friendly and dice the fattier chicken thighs, they do not dry out like chicken breast. If you make this recipe with whole chicken breast, it will remain tender.
Cheese
The cheese in this recipe is flavorful and pairs well with the chicken. Additionally, it helps to keep you feeling full after eating the dish. Cheese is a great source of healthy fats, protein, and nutrients.
Celery
Celery is low in calories and high in fiber. Additionally, celery is a good source of vitamins and minerals.
Onion
Along with the flavor, onion is a good source of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, onion is low in calories and fat.
Mushroom Soup
Chicken soup adds a creamier flavor and moisture to the dish. It also helps to keep you feeling full after eating the meal. Chicken soup is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Eggs
Whisked eggs are used in this recipe to bind all ingredients together. Additionally, eggs are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Salt & Pepper
Salt and pepper are used to season the dish. You can adjust the amount of salt and pepper to taste.
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth brings out the flavors of all ingredients, and chicken broth is a great source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Ritz Crackers
Crackers help bind and thicken to keep you full, all ingredients together. Crackers are a good source of carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins.
