Chicken in Sour Cream (Best Recipe I Have Found)

Submitted by Elijon

"I absolutely LOVE this recipe and have not seen this version on this site. My grandma made at least a dozen versions of this and finally found the best. I have to agree, this is amazing. I've tried the other versions of this recipe. They are not half as good as this one. This is my entire family's favorite--possibly the only dinner we can all agree on."

Made for Spring PAC 2008. This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I used brown rice as that is all I had and I used cooked bacon because of the review by another reviewer. My family enjoyed this.

Creamy, flavorful. It is familiar, but different at the same time. I would suggest using a low sodium soup ( the dried beef makes it very salty) and if you would like to cut calories, try low fat cream cheese and sour cream. For me, I would skip the bacon next time. It was limp and chewy. The only way I can think to fix that would be to wrap it around the chicken and throw it in a fry pan for two or so minutes on each side before cooking in the oven.

This recipe was a standard at a restaurant I worked at many, many years ago. It was my Dad's favorite and goes under several names. It's a terrific dish.

look at Jim's Chicken Supreme, it's the same recipe. I suppose great minds as well as great cooks think alike.
