I used cream of onion soup instead of cream of chicken, and it turned out yummy. :)

I would give this 5 stars, my husband however was not a fan of the "heaviness" but I'm German and loved it! For my husband instead of wrapping the chicken in bacon, I cut a pocket into the side of the breast and stuffed it with bacon bits and swiss cheese. A wonderful addition!

My whole family loves this. I make it just a little bit differently and think the combination of the soups that I use make it better than just cream of chicken. I use 1 can cream of chicken & mushroom soup (both flavors combined into one can), 1 can cream of celery, and 1 cup sour cream for the sauce. All the rest of the ingredients are the same but I don't shred the dried beef. I put one slice of dried beef on each side of the chicken breast and wrap the bacon around, ends down. Cooking it longer and slower is the key to the chicken getting so tender. I've never overcooked it and have left it on 275 as long as 3 1/2 hours and it's been great every time. I also recommend at least partially cooking the bacon or removing it before serving because it is soggy. But the bacon flavor that it gives the chicken and the sauce is really yummy. Also, this sauce is SO GOOD that we usually have mashed potatoes with it and use the sauce for gravy. You can cut down on a little of the sodium by buying lower sodium soups, but the fat free versions don't seem to work as well (including the sour cream). I don't make it often because it's fattening, but my family loves it when I do.

I make this recipe once every few months. I use cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken. I also omit the beef. It is kind of a heavy dish, but oh so yummy!

This is a recipe that my mom also gave me a long time ago. Our family calls it "Chicken ala Riche". The only difference with ours is we use Cream of Mushroom soup instead of chicken. I always cook the bacon ahead of time. I think if you never had this recipe as a child, it is a very different taste for those who did and truly love it. Glad to see it is on allrecipes.

I grew up with both my Grandma AND Mom making this, only using Buddig beef. I make it myself every once and a while with the Buddig beef or dried beef. It's not something you want to make frequently, as it is a bit of a Heart Attack on a Plate kind of meal, but it is darn tasty. TIP: Make sure you soak and rinse the beef a couple times and blot, to get rid of some of the overkill salty brine taste.

Instead of putting dried beef on bottom of 13 x 9, I pound the chicken breasts thin (between two pieces of clear wrap) and wrap the breast around half a package of thin-sliced beef sandwich meat, Next, slightly fry two pieces of bacon per breast, wrap around the breast and cover with soup/sour-cream blend. You can also add sauteed onion/celery/mushroom and include in the soup/cream mix. To make the chicken fork-tender, bake uncovered in 300 degree F oven for two hours.

I made this because I had the ingredients on hand, minus the beef. I was pleasantly surprised. It was so easy (10 min. prep. then forget about it for 2 hours) and tasty. I followed the advice of another by cooking at 300 degrees for 2 hours. Mostly because I had household chores to do and this way I didn't have to sit over the oven and wait. I didn't have bacon in the house, but had Pancetta, and it was yummy, and cooked through with no problem (no pre-cooking). I served this over brown rice and received the ultimate compliment from my husband.... "Mom use to make chicken and rice like this". Comfort food for sure. I especially like that it's so easy to change out ingredients to your taste, like cream of mushroom instead of Chicken etc.

I use cream of mushroom soup, it adds more flavor to me. I never include the beef, and only include the bacon once in a while.

I make this recipe a little different. I don't shred the beef, just lay it in the bottom of the pan. I don't precook the bacon. I also use 1 8 oz package of cream cheese, 2 cans cream of chicken soup, and 8 oz sour cream mixed together and poured over. I cook it for 2 hours at 300. It takes a little longer but all the meat is super tender and fabulous. All this served over white rice is rich but I also sometimes choose to use low fat versions of the soup, cream cheese, and the sour cream. Tastes just as good.

I love this chicken! HOWEVER, I received this recipe from my mom-in-law a while back and it is best if you cook the chicken at 275 for 3 hours. It is so tender that you can cut it with a fork. I would also agree with the other reviewer about cooking the bacon first. That's a must.

With the addition of cream cheese to the sauce, and peppering the chicken, this recipe becomes "Chicken Breast Eden Isle".

I followed the recipe with a few slight changes. As others have suggested, be sure to rinse the beef or it will be way too salty. I cooked the bacon in a skillet and added a can of soup (I used 2 cans)and fresh mushrooms. Wait until the last 15-20 minutes to add this mixture to avoid overcooking the mushrooms. All in all a great dish. My husband loved it!
