Sunday Chicken

     As we prepared our menu for the week on family night, my son perused my pinterest food board to find something for his choice.  He chose Sunday Chicken because it was bacon wrapped chicken strips.  I don't know what it is with bacon wrapped meat.  Males just seem to have a fascination with it.  Well, I decided that we'd try to make it.   It seemed simple enough. The bonus was that I could put it in the oven just before I left for church and within an hour of returning home dinner would be ready.

     As some of you may already know, I don't usually make a recipe exactly as I found it.  This dish was no exception and I am really glad because it was fabulous....definitely not for a diet though. 

     It is boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins wrapped in bacon and then topped with a mixture of cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Cover with foil and bake for about 4 hours. Then remove foil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. This is great for Sunday dinner...just put it in before church and it's ready by noon! The chicken is so tender and tasty...you can cut it with a fork!

Sunday Chicken

9-15 boneless skinless chicken tenderloins

1-2 packages of bacon

2 can cream chicken soup

1 cup all natural sour cream

1/2 can diced green chiles

1 tsp cummin

1-2 cups shredded Mexican style cheese 

Wrap the chicken with a piece of bacon and place in a baking pan.

 Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl.  (except cheese)

 Spread over chicken strips and sprinkle with the cheese.  Cover with foil and bake for 4 hours at 225 Degrees F.  Uncover and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes.  (I let it cook a little longer because I like the cheese to begin browning.)

 Remove the foil.  Let cool for 10 minutes and serve.  We ate it over rice with some green salad.  Enjoy

Even this amount was too much for the two of us.  We ate it twice and then got tired of it.  Later in the week, I took the leftovers, shredded up the chicken, mixed it all together with some veggies, mushrooms and rice, added some more cheese, and baked it into a casserole.  (350 D F for 45 min)  I served this with a green salad.  It was very good.
