ELEGANT CHICKEN
Ingredients:
8 5-ounce chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

4 ounces dried beef, chopped
10-ounce can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Preheat oven to 275°. Grease a 9″x13″ casserole dish. Layer the bottom of the casserole dish with dried beef. Wrap each chicken breast with one strip of bacon. Arrange chicken over dried beef.
