Cooked chicken breasts is a menu item that I like to regularly include in my menu plans, but I am always looking for different ways to make it. I came across a recipe for baked buttermilk chicken and had to try it. It is similar to some recipes I have, but the buttermilk part of the recipe was different and it intrigued me. I do frequently get intrigued by recipes.
Buttermilk is the key ingredient to this dish. It really makes it so don’t try to just milk in it’s place. Don’t even try to make a substitute. It really needs to be the real deal. It is really worth it with this baked buttermilk chicken.
I love that this chicken is dipped in butter milk and then coated with a simple breading of flour, salt and pepper. Once you have the chicken coated to place it in a baking dish. This baking dish has some melted butter in the bottom. Then this chicken cooks in the oven for 30 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for another 15 minutes.
While that cooks, you mix together some buttermilk along with cream of chicken soup. When the chicken is ready, pour this mixture over the chicken and cook it for another 15 minutes. Such a delicious way to serve up chicken!

Want to make this for dinner tonight but need clarification. When you say cut the chicken breast in half do you mean lengthen wise or directly across?
wow, you must single-handedly keep Cambell’s soup in business! i think this is the third recipe i’ve stumbled on with that soup in it.
