Description
A rich and savory baked chicken dish featuring bacon, mushrooms, and a creamy, dark gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices bacon, cut in half
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the olive oil to the skillet if needed. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the onions are soft and the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces over the top of the sauce.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve this dish over rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the rich gravy.
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup if you prefer.
- For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of dry sherry to the sauce mixture.
