A delightful and easy-to-make chicken dish wrapped in bacon and baked in a creamy sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Overlap the bacon slices slightly to cover the chicken completely.
Place the wrapped chicken breasts in a casserole dish in a single layer.
Ensure the chicken pieces are not touching for even cooking.
Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken, spreading it evenly.
Use a spatula to spread the sauce for even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
