Chicken with Bacon Cream Sauce

Everything is better with butter—that goes for bacon, too!

Recipe Ingredients:

8 boneless chicken breast halves
Garlic powder to taste
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 bacon strips
1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
Hot cooked rice for accompaniment (optional)

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Wrap each chicken breast in 1 strip of bacon and place in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and soup. Spoon mixture over the chicken and bake uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes or until slightly brown on top.
4. Serve with hot cooked rice, if desired.
