Oven-Baked Bacon Wrapped Chicken is one of those recipes my Mom did not make very often, but it was one of my favorites. As I have gotten older and have had to make it myself, I always found I never had enough time to make it. I always saved it as my weekend recipe but our weekends get so busy. I was always scratching it off the menu for the week. When Covid hit, I actually found myself making this recipe more and more. I would prep it on my lunch break then put it in the fridge. Then 3 hours before dinner time, I would pop it in the oven, it worked out great! I can tell you this recipe is much better if you cook it for the full 3 hours rather than the shortened version.

• Rice

Utensils Needed

2. Cut up dried beef and place in bottom of greased glass baking dish.
3. Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon then place on top of beef.
4. Mix soup and sour cream in a small bowl with the spatula.

Variations

• I have never really changed anything up with this recipe. We always serve it with rice as the sour cream and soup mixture makes a nice sauce for the rice.
