Sunday Chicken

Can you tell I'm posting all of Mom's recipes? Well definitely not all.... but a few staples!

1 package sliced smoked beef (didn't mom use sandwich ham??)
salt and pepper
garlic powder
8 chicken breasts, either boned or with bone in breasts
8 slices bacon
1 carton dairy sour cream (1 pint)
1 can cream of mushroom soup

In a large baking dish, line bottom with smoked beef. Lightly salt and pepper chicken breasts. Wrap 1 slice of bacon around each chicken breast, dust with garlic powder and place on top of smoked beef. Mix sour cream with mushroom soup and spoon over top of chicken breasts. Bake at 375 degrees for one hour and 15 minutes. Serves 8.

(If the breasts are large, I sometimes cook them 1 1/2 hours.
If You want to make a gravy out of the drippings in the pan:
Add about 1-2 cups of milk to the drippings in the pan. Stir. take 1/2 cup of milk and 3 Tablespoons flour, mix together in bowl until smooth. Pour into the drippings in the pan and stir until smooth, thick and bubbly. Enjoy!
