Preparing Creamy Baked Chicken Legs with Mushroom Sauce

The process of making Creamy Baked Chicken Legs with Mushroom Sauce is straightforward and enjoyable. Begin by preheating your oven, which sets the stage for the slow roast of the chicken. You’ll then blend the creamy mushroom sauce ingredients in just one bowl—no elaborate techniques here! This recipe is all about layering flavors while making your life easier. After preparing the chicken legs and coating them in the savory sauce, you’ll simply pop them in the oven and let the magic happen.

What you’ll need

Here’s the ingredient list that makes this recipe come alive:

• 4 chicken legs
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Feel free to swap chicken legs for thighs or drumsticks, depending on what you have on hand. If you’re looking for a lighter version, using low-fat milk in the sauce works just fine as well.
