Ingredients
8 chicken breast halves (4 whole brea, sts)
4 oz chipped beef (1 package)
8 slice bacon
13 oz mushroom soup concentrate (e.g. 1 c, an campbell's so
1 cup sour cream
Directions
Cut chipped beef into strips. Line the baking pan with them.
Wrap bacon around chicken. Put in pan on top of beef.
Mix soup and sour cream. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover tightly and
refrigerate overnight, or at least several hours. It comes out better
if you do it overnight.
Bake in 275 degree F. oven, uncovered, for three hours.
NOTES:
* Succulent and easy chicken -- This recipe makes the most succulent
and juicy chicken I've had. It is very easy to make. The only
drawback is that you have to start the night before you want to serve
it. It would be a good recipe for when you have company, since you
can do most of the work the previous day.
* A note on ingredients for non-US cooks: "chipped beef" is cooked
spiced beef cut into very thin slices and packaged for sandwiches. A
worthy substitute is roast beef sliced very thin and seasoned lightly
with salt and pepper. A "can of mushroom soup," such as Campbell's
soup, is 1 1/2 cups of double-strength cream soup concentrate. You
can substitute the Knorr Swiss dried mushroom soup mix (available
worldwide) if you make it with a mixture of milk and water. Use 1/2
of a 70-gram package of soup mix with 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of
milk. Cook the soup according to package directions, then let cool.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, early records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks used many herbs, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
