This incredibly simple dinner is perfect for busy days when you want something comforting, flavorful, and satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen. With only three basic ingredients, it comes together effortlessly while the oven (or slow cooker) does all the work. The result is a tender, juicy, and rich dish that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did—ideal for family dinners or stress-free entertaining.
Ingredients
1 kg chicken pieces (or beef, depending on preference)
1 block (200 g) cream cheese
1 packet dry onion soup mix
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chicken.
Add the cream cheese on top (you can cut it into chunks for easier melting).
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45–60 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes if you want a lightly golden top.
Stir gently before serving to create a creamy sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread and a simple side salad.
✨ Minimal effort, maximum comfort—this is the kind of dinner everyone asks you to make again.
