Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 slices bacon
2 (10 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
16 ounces sour cream

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Set aside.
  • Wrap 1 raw chicken breast with 2 pieces of raw bacon. Continue to do this 3 more times and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Pour soup and sour cream mixture on top of bacon-wrapped chicken, making sure all the chicken is covered. Bake uncovered at 400ºF for 1 hour.
  • Serve with baked or mashed potatoes. Use leftover cream sauce over potatoes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken thighs are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the oven.
  • For a crispier bacon wrapping, cook the chicken thighs for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy.
  • If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute it with milk or yogurt, but the sauce will be thinner.
  • To make the sauce even creamier, add a tablespoon of butter or cream cheese before serving.
  • If you want to add more flavor to the chicken, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Conclusion:

This creamy bacon-wrapped baked chicken thighs recipe is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the bacon is crispy, and the sauce is creamy and rich. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
