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!

Valerie Cathell Clark says
I love the touch of nonfat Greek yogurt in this! Did it call for sour cream originally? I usually use the yogurt instead of sour cream also. Beautiful dish and I think my girls would love this!
carrieexpktchn@optonline.net says
Yes Valerie, it called for regular cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. I love when you can lighten something up a bit to make it a little healthier. Thanks for stopping by!

When I saw the title I wasn't sure what this is, but now I know it. Chicken in mushroom sauce. It looks delish!

Thank you!
Renee says
I'm pretty sure I've had a version of this but didn't know it was called Chicken Parisenne. I think my parents or their friends would just call it creamy chicken.
