Source of Recipe


internet


List of Ingredients




8 oz. bacon diced
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 8-10 pieces bone in chicken
1 cup seasoned flour*
1 medium onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 carrots, diced
3 (10 oz. each) cans prepared chicken gravy


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350ºF degrees.

Sauté the bacon until browned, drain and set aside. Reserve bacon fat.

Dredge chicken breasts in seasoned flour*. Sauté chicken in some of the reserved bacon fat* until lightly browned on both sides.

Place browned chicken in a baking dish or small roasting pan.

In the same skillet that you cooked the chicken in add about a tablespoon of the reserved bacon fat, add the diced vegetables and cook over medium heat to “sweat” and soften the vegetables.

Distribute the cooked vegetables over the chicken, and then sprinkle with the cooked bacon. Pour the gravy over all. Cover tightly and bake for an hour to an hour and 15 minutes.

You may remove the cover for the last 15 minutes of baking if desired. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.


*Seasoned flour
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

*If you use vegetable or olive oil to saute’ chicken there is less chance of it burning.Just use a tablespoon or so of the reserved bacon fat to cook the vegetables.
