Ingredients

  • 12-14 half chicken breasts boned
  • 2 jars dried chipped beef
  • 1 8 oz. carton sour cream
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 12-14 slices bacon
  • Vermouth or sherry optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Wrap each half chicken breast with a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
  • Layer the dried chipped beef on the bottom of an open baking pan.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on top of the chipped beef.
  • In a bowl, mix together the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup until well combined.
  • Pour the soup and sour cream mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered.
  • Cover the baking pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C) and continue baking for an additional 2 hours, basting the chicken breasts halfway through.
  • Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the bacon to crisp up.
  • Remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts before serving.
  • Optionally, add a splash of vermouth or sherry for added flavor.
