Yum Yum Chicken is an EASY (10 minute prep.) delicious dish. Chicken pieces are covered in a simple, flavorful sauce, and baked until done.
Many, MANY years ago I came up with a recipe for super simple, easy to make, baked chicken. Our family liked the chicken the first time I made it, and said it was yummy. So I named it Yum Yum Chicken. True story. Nothing exciting about it, but that’s how it got it’s name, and I’ve been making this simple dish ever since!
Honestly, this could NOT be any easier to make, and it really does taste yummy, especially when served with steamed rice, which goes perfectly with the simple sauce that tops the pieces of chicken. I originally came up with this ridiculously easy recipe by “dinking around in the kitchen” to see what I could come up with.
Basically I was looking for something that wouldn’t take too much time to prepare. I worked full-time when our sons were growing up, so anything that was quick, easy, and filling to make for dinner (after work) was always a winner! This recipe only takes about 10 minutes of preparation before throwing it in the oven. HOORAY! Let me show you how easy it is to make yum yum chicken:

Make The Sauce For The Chicken
The sauce will go on top of the chicken when it is baked. It is SO EASY to make! In a medium sized bowl, combine a can of cream of mushroom soup, a can of cream of chicken soup, wine, milk, celery, green bell pepper and 3/4 of an envelope of dried onion soup mix. Give these ingredients a stir to fully combine (the sauce will be fairly thick). Set the sauce aside.
Prepare The Chicken For Baking
Preheat your oven to 375° F. Place a cut up chicken (8 pieces) in a lightly greased or sprayed 9″ x 13″ baking dish in a single layer. Pour or spoon the sauce over the chicken, spreading the sauce to make sure all the chicken pieces are covered. And now, just like that, the only thing left to do is BAKE the yum yum chicken!
Bake The Yum Yum Chicken
Bake the chicken at 375° F., uncovered, for one hour. When done, the chicken will be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F., and the sauce will be golden brown and bubbly around the edges of the pan. Remove the pan from the oven, and let the chicken rest 3-4 minutes before serving.
Serving Yum Yum Chicken
Place pieces of the chicken onto serving plates. Spoon some of the extra sauce over the chicken, and serve. I recommend serving rice on the side with this dish, because it tastes so good with the sauce!
That’s it! See how EASY this yum yum chicken was to make? YEP. It is a great recipe that you can quickly put together, then go rest or do something else while it bakes! That’s my kind of recipe! The baked chicken tastes good, too!
Thank you for stopping by today for a visit. I hope you’ll have the chance to make yum yum chicken for those you love. Have a great day, and come back again soon.
