Broccoli cheese soup with crispy chicken
A can of soup becomes dinner when you poach chicken in it and top with toasted oyster crackers. The cheese broth turns rich and deep as the chicken cooks through, and you get a real meal in one bowl.

To buy
- 2 (about 8 ounces total) boneless skinless chicken breasts
From your shelf
- 1 can (19 ounces) Progresso Toppers Broccoli Cheese Soup with oyster crackers
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat 2 chicken breasts dry, season on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and lay them in the hot pan. Sear until golden on the first side, about 3 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and pour the contents of 1 can of Progresso Broccoli Cheese Soup around it. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until a thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part, about 12 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, spread the oyster crackers on a small baking sheet and place in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5 minutes until golden and fragrant, shaking the pan halfway through. Remove and set aside.
- Transfer each chicken breast to a bowl and divide the soup between them. Top each bowl with a handful of toasted oyster crackers and serve at once.
Note Swap diced ham or smoked turkey for the chicken if you prefer. Leftovers keep for three days in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop. Serve with a green salad or crusty bread to soak up the broth.
