This was my mother's favorite recipe for Sunday—hence the name. It makes an excellent recipe for Sunday dinner, because it can be prepared ahead of time and left to bake while you attend church. The leftovers also freeze well.

I've made this so many times I can't even count! Easy and pleasing! Sometimes I use chicken breasts instead of bone in chicken.

I have a hard to please husband and a two year old. They loved this! My son is more into the rice than the chicken, but this was SO delicious! The only thing I will do next time is season the chicken more, at my husband's request. It's so easy to throw together and so surprisingly good for so few ingredients.

It wasn't quite up to my expectations partly because im not a big fan of condensed cream soups

EXCELLENT RECIPE!!!! I am so impressed with the ease of this recipe. My family loved it! I have 3 sons and a husband with big appetites, so I made a double batch and they ate every bit of it.

Actually I make a similar recipe all the time. In fact I'm making it tonight but it doesnt require a cut up chicken. I have used 8 to 10 chicken pieces. I also use liptons onion soup mix sprinkled on top.
