Creamy Bacon Chicken & Rice

Hey y'all!  I hope you're ready for another delicious dinner, super quick prep, then put it in the crock pot for five hours and bam! dinner is done!  I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does. 

Ingredients

1 Package of Thin Sliced Bacon
1 Package of Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (about a pound)
1 Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup (roasted garlic kind)
1 Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
1 8oz Container of Sour Cream
1/2 Cup of All-Purpose Flour
1 Small Onion Chopped
Salt & Pepper to Taste
1 Small can of Mushrooms
Rice or Pasta of your choice

(keep in mind if you are not a fan of Mushrooms & Onions you can leave them out, or substitute them with other veggies of your choice.)

Lets get cooking!!!





 First mix in a separate bowl the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, the flour, & the sour cream, salt & pepper to taste. The sauce will be really thick, you might think you need a mixer but a good sturdy whisk will do the job!  Next fold in the onions and mushrooms to the sauce mixture.  Set the bowl of the sauce aside and we'll now work on the chicken & bacon.  (I personally do not salt anything when using and Campbell's Soups, because I find them to be really salty already)


First cut your chicken into thin strips, cut them as long as the breast is long wise, then about one half to one inch wide. The thickness is entirely up to you, this just happens to be how I cut it. 


Next we're going to wrap each strip of chicken with a piece of bacon.


After you've wrapped each piece of chicken with a slice of bacon place them neatly in the bottom of your crock pot. All of mine fit in the bottom without having to double any layers.


Next you'll pour your sauce mixture over the top of your chicken bacon wraps. After you've got it all poured over the chicken, get out a rubber scrapper and push the chicken away from the sides a little so you can get some of the sauce all around the chicken.


Place your lid on  your crock pot and set it to high for one hour, then turn the crock pot down to low for three hours, check your chicken temperature at that time. Your chicken's internal temperature should be between 160 and 170 degrees. Now if you have an older crock pot you may have to cook your chicken for five hours or more.

Honey said he thinks he'd like the bacon precooked, so you can try it that way also, it was wonderful!

Lastly you'll want to make up your rice or pasta at this time. I think this chicken goes great over Jasmine rice or Egg Noodles. Eat up and Enjoy!!!
