Someone gave me a somewhat similar recipe years ago. In addition to the
Chicken Noel ingredients and instructions, this one also calls for a jar of
dried beef and strips of bacon. Before puting the chicken in the baking
dish, the dried beef is coarsely torn into pieces and laid on the bottom of
the dish. Bacon is wrapped around each piece of chicken breast before
placing in the baking dish. The recipe was called "Party Chicken". Very
tasty, and everyone seems to like it.

Oh, it also calls for 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1 teaspoon of ground
coriander to be mixed in with the soup/sour cream mixture.

Note: I always pour boiling water over the dried beef, soak briefly, then
dry with paper towels before adding to the dish.
