What You Need to Make 3-Ingredient Cheddar Cream of Mushroom Chicken:
- Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System (or a Crockpot/Instant Pot will do just fine)
- 1 Can of Family Size Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 Can of French’s Cheddar French Fried Onions (you can also use regular or even bread crumbs or croutons on top)
- 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

How to Make Cheddar Cream of Mushroom Chicken:
Preheat your Ninja cooking system or Crock-Pot. I set mine to oven bake at 275 degrees. Adjust this temperature based on the amount of time you want to cook.
By the way, you can surely use an Instant Pot and use the slow cook setting.

Place your chicken breasts into the pan spread evenly apart.

Pour the entire can of cream of mushroom soup on top of the chicken.
Allow to cook for several hours (with the Ninja cooking system it cooks much faster at a lower heat then with a slow cooker).
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the tops of the chicken with the cheddar french fried onions and allow to cook until finished.
Serve with a side of vegetables or rice and enjoy!
