My mother used to make this dish for dinner parties in the 1960's. It may
look nasty, but it sure was tasty. Make an appointment with your cardiologist
before making...

Christa's Chicken

Recipe from: Joanne Irving
Servings: 8

This is a recipe from my mother. This recipe was always a huge hit at her
dinner parties, and I was always looking for table scraps!

8 halves of chicken breast
8 slices bacon
1 small jar sliced dried beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup dairy sour cream

Spread slices of dried beef over bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish. Wrap
each piece of chicken with one slice of bacon and place on dried beef
without crowding. Mix 10½ ounce can cream of mushroom soup with dairy sour
cream. Spoon over chicken. Bake in a 300°F slow oven for about 3 hours.
