Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken legs
  • 300 grams cream of mushroom soup
  • 120 millilitres whole milk
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels and season thoroughly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken legs and sear on all sides until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  5. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Arrange the chicken legs in a single layer in a baking dish. Distribute the sautéed onions and garlic evenly over the chicken.
  7. Pour the mushroom soup mixture evenly over the chicken and aromatics.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is bubbling.
  10. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the finished dish before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken legs for a few hours or overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
