| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by preheating your oven to 275°F (135°C). |
| 2 | Take each boneless chicken breast and tuck in the ends, then roll them up. |
| 3 | Wrap each rolled chicken breast with a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. You may choose to fry the bacon slightly beforehand to reduce excess fat. |
| 4 | Arrange the prepared chicken breasts in a 9×13 inch baking dish. |
| 5 | In a saucepan, heat the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until well combined and heated through. |
| 6 | Pour the heated soup and cream mixture over the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly coated. |
| 7 | Bake the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. |
| 8 | Once done, remove the toothpicks from the chicken and serve hot, spooning some of the sauce over each portion. |
Notes:
- This recipe yields a generous amount of sauce, so you may adjust the quantities of soup and sour cream based on your preference and the number of chicken breasts you’re preparing.
