Ingredients needed

  • bacon

  • salt and pepper
  • cream of mushroom soup
  • white wine
  • sharp white cheddar
  • penne

Use your favorite style of pasta for Country Club Chicken

I think a penne or similar size noodle might be preferable to a spaghetti noodle for this, as the sauce was quite thick and doesn’t work super well with thin noodles. That being said, use whatever you like the best since you are the one eating it.

Yep, it uses cream of mushroom soup!

This recipe for Country Club Chicken does use canned soup, which I know some people hate. Go ahead and make a from scratch condensed mushroom soup if you like. Personally I don’t mind cream of mushroom soup. Other varieties of condensed soups from a can can be iffy, but mushroom is one I can get on board with.

I used a golden mushroom which is why there is a yellow color to the sauce in the picture, but I think next time I make this I will stick with regular ol’ plain condensed mushroom.

  1. Yuuuuummy! I like everything about it, and I think canned mushroom soup isn't bad at all! I may have to Pin this one;)
    Merry Christmas!

    1. I baked this uncovered. If you are worried about it getting too brown, keep an eye on it and cover it if needed for the last few minutes.

  2. When do you use the 2 Tbsp of olive oil? I keep reading the recipe and I'm not able to find it. Sorry. :/

  3. Do I have to use white sharp cheese?
    And did I read golden mushroom soup ok
    Can I use one cream and one golden
    Thanks

    1. Hi Sandra – You can use whatever cheese you’d like. You could definitely use a combination of regular cream of mushroom and golden mushroom. I think a number of combinations could work, like cream of chicken or celery along with the can of mushroom, if someone wanted to.
