🍗3-Ingredient Tavern Chicken Dinner — Simple, Savory & Comforting!

🛒 What You’ll Need

🍗 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

🍺 1 can (12 oz) beer or non-alcoholic beer

🧅 1 packet dry onion soup mix

Plus a little cooking oil for browning.

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1️⃣ Brown the chicken.

Pat the chicken dry and lightly season with pepper if desired. Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken for about 2–3 minutes per side.

2️⃣ Add the flavor. 🧅

Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chicken.

4️⃣ Simmer.

Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat. Cover and cook for about 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.

5️⃣ Let the sauce thicken.

Remove the lid during the last few minutes if needed, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

6️⃣ Serve it hot! 🍗

Spoon the savory sauce over the chicken and serve with your favorite sides.

✨ Want to Make It Your Own?

🥔 Serve it over creamy mashed potatoes.

🍞 Add crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.

🥕 Serve with roasted carrots or green beans.

🌿 Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a little color.

💡 A Little Tip

Use a thermometer to check the chicken rather than relying only on cooking time. Chicken is ready when the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C).

If you prefer not to cook with alcohol, a non-alcoholic beer can be used instead.
