What is golden mushroom soup?
Golden mushroom soup is usually made with beef stock, mushrooms and savory tomato puree. You can buy it in the store or on-line. It's a very flavorful combination of ingredients, and it works really well with chicken and pasta.
Chicken Broccoli Spaghetti with Golden Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast , skinless, boneless, cut in half horizontally
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10.5 oz Golden Mushroom condensed soup from the can
- 0.7 oz dry Italian Salad Dressing Mix packaged
- ½ cup chicken stock
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 8 oz spaghetti pasta (use gluten free spaghetti for gluten free version)
- ½ pound broccoli florets , sliced into bite-size pieces
- 4 green onions , chopped
Instructions
- Slice boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half horizontally, to make them thinner and easier to cook. Season chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Cook chicken breasts 4 minutes on each side. Then, remove the skillet from heat, cover with the lid and let the chicken sit in the skillet, covered, for about 15 minutes, off heat - until it's completely cooked through in its own heat, and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into thin strips.
- To the same skillet add golden mushroom condensed soup and about ½ to ¾ of the 0.7 ounce Italian Salad dressing mix (make sure not to add all of the salad dressing mix - it might make the sauce too salty). Heat the mixture and add chicken stock and heavy cream - bring to boil and mix well.
- Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Cook broccoli florets in boiling water for 5 minutes, or, just simply add broccoli florets to boiling water with pasta during the last 5 minutes or cooking. Drain and rinse.
- Add cooked and drained pasta and broccoli to the skillet and combine it with the sauce. Taste and add more of Italian salad dressing seasoning, if needed. Add sliced cooked chicken and half of chopped green onions and mix well with pasta and sauce. When serving, top with the remaining half of chopped green onions.

Such a lovely dish but I'm disappointed that there are still recipes that require canned, condensed soup! Can you redo this without the canned sodium and chemicals?
Cathy, if you looked at my other recipes, you can see that I NEVER use canned stuff. 🙂 For this recipe, I did use canned GOLDEN MUSHROOM SOUP because of its color and nice flavor (I really like it!). I was not able to reproduce it on my own yet, from scratch, so I used a can of soup, maybe someday I will make it from scratch.
I like your blog and this recipe looks so delicious ! I will try this soon I like spaghetti 🙂
This looks delicious! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Hi Julia, wonderful meal, love the mushroom sauce and the bright green from the broccoli. Have a great week.
