This is a great recipe I came up with when I got snowed in and had to make dinner for the family. It tastes amazing and also looks very professional! Make some rice and a salad for a side dish, and there you have a whole meal!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground paprika
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ (8 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms, drained and chopped
salt to taste
2 tablespoons dry white wine
½ teaspoon dried parsley, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs, or as needed
5 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking tray with foil. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika together in a small bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for 1 minute.
Set aside 1/3 of the mushrooms for garnish; add remaining mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt. Saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Add parsley and pepper, then mix in just enough bread crumbs to bind. Remove from the heat.
Cut a slit in each chicken breast to form a pocket. Stuff mushroom mixture into each pocket. Season one side of each breast with salt, then with the 1/2 of the spice mixture.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts, seasoned-sides down, in the hot skillet and let them brown for about 2 minutes. Season the tops with the remaining spice mixture, flip, and brown for 2 more minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking tray.
Spoon reserved mushrooms over the chicken breasts, then pour condensed soup over top.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
