continental chicken casserole

Oh. My. Goodness.

This was so EASY and so GOOD!

Go get a pencil and write this one down...

I'll wait right here until you come back... Ready?

Continental Chicken Casserole

1pkg dried beef

6-8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1lb turkey bacon

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup flour

1 onion, chopped

1 cup celery chopped (optional)

**Bake at 350 for 2 hours!

First grease your pan and create a layer of dried beef.

(And if you forget to grease it like me, just stick a few tabs of butter under the edges!)

Then slice your chicken into strips... or buy the package of tenderloins like I did!

Wrap your pieces of chicken with the bacon...

Then tuck them in bed and sing them a song...

(I only had a half pound of bacon, so I wrapped then two by two.)

Chop up an onion... and sprinkle the pieces in there...

Mix the soups/flour/sour creme in a separate bowl, then dump that in too...

Cover with foil and stick it in the oven at 350 for 2 hours...

Caution : this starts to smell AMAZING after about an hour...

You will be drooling... I promise...

Even though I used partially frozen chicken tenderloins, they were cooked to perfection!  The suggested side in the cookbook was to serve over noodles, but I chose green beans... more fiber, less carbs!  Hubby thought it was a little too salty, so I'll probably only use half a package of dried beef next time.  The chicken was incredibly moist and easily cut for our little boys... who grubbed on this meal!

Personally... I loved it!

I thought it was perfect!  But I like salty things...

Must be from being pregnant 90% of the last 5 years...
