This is not a complicated recipe or even an expensive recipe to prepare, but the results are really sort of decadent and it makes it a dish worthy of company or even for a holiday meal. It's also a dish you can prepare the night before so that you just need to bake it the next day. I got this recipe from a friend of mine whose son went to elementary school and played baseball with my son. She is a fabulous cook and always had the best recipes. They are from Arkansas and the Red Apple Inn is in the area they came from. This has been one of our favorite meals for a long time now.
Here is what you will need for this:
6-8 boneless chicken breasts
6-8 slices of bacon
1 small jar of dried beef
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz. block of cream cheese, softened
2 cups sour cream
black pepper
seasoned salt
paprika for garnish (optional)




We like this served over rice, but it's also good over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
It's pretty if you sprinkle it with just a little paprika for color!
