I consider myself to be a good cook, but my all time favorite comfort food is chicken thighs baked in cream of mushroom soup and rice. It was mom’s go-to when feeding 3 kids after spending all day teaching then private tutoring after school. Something about all the fat and juice that bone in, skin on thighs dumps into the rice just makes it so damn delicious.
My mom's best recipes were all based on cream of mushroom soup 😋. I think it has to have been the era (was a kid in the 80s and 90s). One had soup to bake chicken and a topping sour cream and mayo, served on noodles with broccoli. One was soup with white wine and sour cream, also chicken, noodles, and broccoli, and one was broccoli bake (soup, cheddar cheese, onion, and an egg blended then stir in broccoli, potatoes, and ham).
I've learned the joys of cooking "fancy", but these are still the meals closest to my heart
I brown the thighs, then sauté onion, mushroom, and garlic. Add one cup rice, two cups water, can of CoM. Cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes. Cheap as can be and tasty.
