Recreate this retro meal with chicken thighs in fat free cream of mushroom soup, white wine, fresh mushrooms, scallions and Greek yogurt.
Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks is hosting a Retro Food Event so I whipped out the 1968 version of the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.
Here is where I found some great retro food recipes and decided to experiment with my own version of the classic dish, Chicken Parisienne.
What is Chicken Parisienne?
Chicken Parisienne was popular back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. It was a really simple dish to make and was one of the more popular "canned soup" recipes of that time.
I recall eating something like this as a child; however, I don't remember if this was the exact same way my Mom used to make it. In any case, this recipe was delicious!
Ingredients Needed
The original recipe calls for chicken, cream of mushroom soup, white wine and sour cream, but I changed it up just a bit.
My version of Chicken Parisienne uses:
- skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
- fat free cream of mushroom soup
- white wine
- fresh mushrooms
- scallions
- Greek yogurt
- paprika
How do you make Chicken Parisienne?
How do you make Chicken Parisienne?Prep time on this dish is next to nothing too. Simply place your chicken in a casserole dish, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and pour over the chicken; then bake until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling; approximately 1 hour.
Though I didn't cook this in my slow cooker, I bet you could add all of the ingredients to the cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours, but I would leave out the yogurt and add at the end before serving.
My family really liked this recipe for Chicken Parisienne and it makes enough sauce to pour over some rice or egg noodles as well. This recipe makes enough to serve 6-8 people; however, it freezes beautifully so go ahead and save some for another meal. ~Enjoy!

HI! I would LOVE to take this to a potluck dinner, but what could I use instead of wine?
Carrie's Experimental Kitchen says
Chicken broth would work fine too. Enjoy Shirley!

Back in the 1960's and 1970's my culinary creative father used to make this at least once every couple of weeks, and I remember my two younger sisters and I never tired of it! Of course, he used sour cream, as he was certainly NOT a low-fat cook, but your recipe is at least as good as my dad's. I followed the recipe exactly and it was just as delicious as I remember it. It brought back lots of good memories of family gathered round the dining room table and enjoying the food, and I love it when a meal does that! Thanks for posting this...it really deserves to become a household staple dining experience again!

Hi Carrie,
This looks amazing. Quick question. Do you cook this covered or uncovered?
Thx! And keep up the good work!
Carrie's Experimental Kitchen says

I actually did not grow up eating this dish, but it sounds very similar to casseroles my mom did make. I love your lightened up version!
