But I’m taking steps. They are baby steps but advancements forward all the same. You’ll be glad to know that thanks to Joanne, I’ve cleaned out a junk drawer, two utensil drawers, and my pots/pans cabinet in the past few days. And tonight? Well, I cooked Paula Deen.
Well, not Paula Deen herself, but a delicious chicken dish she conjured in her Lady and Sons Savannah Country cookbook. This particular meal was met with rave reviews from the fam therefore I could not let this day go by without sharing the recipe.
BUT, before I do, I should tell you this dish is very meaty. If you sicken easily over raw chicken, or if you’ve eaten Mexican for lunch and supper the day before (oh yes I did), then be warned the prep work on this recipe is a little nauseating. However, how could I refuse when my Number Two son said, “You are cooking chicken, topped with beef and rolled with bacon? That is awesomeness!” Since his multi-layered meat dishes are typically limited to a Jack’s Double Cheeseburger, I soldiered through the fleshiness of it.
If you aren’t throwing up yet, here’s the 411: (Wonder why I’m not publishing cookbooks?)
Chicken Breasts in Sour Cream Sauce
8 slices dried beef (in a jar)
8 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (7 oz. each)
4 slices bacon, cut in half
1 cup sour cream
One 10 3/4 oz. can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lay one piece of dried beef on each chicken breast and wrap with a half slice of bacon. Place in a 13×9 inch casserole dish, seam side down. Mix sour cream, soup, and mushrooms together. Pour over chicken breasts. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Serve with rice.
Hope you love it!
NOTE: I didn’t eat the dried beef and bacon though you can if you want. They flavor the chicken nicely without having to eat the fat.

Lisa…
I know it is strictly an oversight because surely you must have meant to list the nutritional value and Weight Watchers points values, right?? No? Let me help you:
17,345 calories
823 fat grams
Weight Watchers value: “Don’t even think about it!”
Seriously, when I entered that into my handy dandy points calculator it actually said those words…”Don’t even think about it!” :)
Seriously, love Paula. I think the most wonderful thing I’ve ever heard her say is, “Ya’ll put on your stretcy britches…we’re makin’ breakfast!”
Blessings, friend! Congrats on the book!

Wow, that sounds pretty delicious even to someone with strept throat over here who can’t swallow anything—but maybe soon. I’m gonna make that dish! About your marketing—I LOVE the title—it so makes me want to go get it. May the God of all encouragement be so present in your marketing!
And so why is this not on 2nd Cup’s Fall into Flavor Monday linky? It certainly qualifies with the high caloric content.
I dunno, though. Dried meat in a jar just goes against everything Texan in me. :-)
Sounds yummy and I am proud of you for cooking. You get 2 snaps girlfriend. LOL
BTW..I will answer your email from a week ago this week, I promise. :)
Love you,
Patty
Good ole’ Paula Deen. It ain’t Paula unless it has two sticks of butter, a cup of mayo, or sour cream. Seriously though, here dishes are wonderful. I have made several of them for my family and they love them. I just might have to try this one. I might also need a shop vac for my arteries when I’m finished. But I am sure it will be worth it.
Oh Lisa. I am right there with you in the conviction over the housekeeping. We have been going 90 to nothing here too, and everything is in a cluster.
AAAAAAAHHHHHH!! I hate it!
This recipe sure does sound yummy, girl. I just posted a Paula Deen recipe too. It’s for Mississippi Mud Cake. Oh girl, please do yourself a favor and try that, too!
Ok. End of mammoth comment. Love ya!
I had NO idea beef came dried in a jar. I guess I should read a few more cookbooks or at least start watching a few cooking shows.
I’ve been missing out!
Hi Lisa,
I’m on my way over to do the Bible study but stopped to read your post. At first I thought this might be an Atkin’s friendly recipe…girl…it sounds so yummy but I would have to take up running after that on. It is a good thing you are so skinny.
Big hugs this a.m.

I have this same recipe from when I was little–my mom called it Gourmet Baked Chicken Breasts. We had it for Sunday dinner last week!
Love that sauce!
Joanne
P.S. And so glad you’re organizing away! Even a small bit feels so good, doesn’t it?
I also grew up eating this and now I make it once in awhile. It is SO good. We don’t actually eat the dried beef-it just seasons the dish for us.
And I have no doubt everyone reading this wonderful blog has had trouble more than once in their lives keeping up with the house! It is a season of life, isn’t it? Ours will be fore sale in the Spring and my husband will be deployed. I’m already breaking out in a sweat just thinking about it.
Sounds scrumptious Lisa! We’ve eaten at Paula’s restaurant in Savannah – de.li.cious!
I was blessed to meet you in SA and finally posted about the trip and meeting you.
Oh my gosh….I love this! I hadn’t had it since COLLEGE! A friend of mine use to make it when we would have an RA dinner or something. Thanks for the recipe!
Lisa McKay eating dried beef from a jar? Wow. You are expanding your territories sis.
You had me until that ingredient. I just can’t eat that. For the same reason I hate sweet potatos just because they are orange and potatoes aren’t suppose to be orange or turnip greens because they smell bad and look slimy. No, I have never tasted either one but my gut says “No.”
I’m currently interested in meals you can cook and freeze for later. I wouldn’t mind cooking all day…one day…and just warming up the rest of the week. Maybe that would help with the busy schedule.
What is dried beef in a jar? I thought I’d had most every kind of beef, but I’ve never heard of that one! What part of the “beef” does it come from? ……I guess though, if you can stomach mexican food twice in one day, you can handle most anything! :)
Hi! Just stopping by for the first time…love your blog! :)
I am forwarding it to a dear friend who is a preacher’s wife, too. I think she will love your soon-to-be-released book!
Warm blessings,
Sharon :)
Oh my, that is a manly meal, no wonder your fellas were so in awe!
Here’s to your Happy Homemakin!
hugs and blessing,
tammy
It must be conviction season. I haven't been to church the last 2 weeks with my Fibromyalgia bothering me & I feel very guilty.
However, love the Paula Deen thing & I just love her beef bourbon y'all, the perfect fall stew. What about her butter burgers, now ladies, that is a woman who loves her butter!
You are all awesome!
I LOVE this recipe!! I haven’t made it in awhile, but it is also very, very good in the crock pot!
Ahh, thanks for stirring up a fond memory. Stirring! Ha Ha get it? Stirring, cooking–I slay me sometimes, snort!
That does sound delicious! However, that just seems like way too many steps for this single girl who is not quite ready to cook every meal. How wrong is that?!! :)
hey Lisa sounds devine, but what is beef in a jar here in africa i have never heard of it, could someone give me an idea would love to try this recipe. I have so missed you did you see the wedding photos on my blog. love always me
LOVE new recipes, I’m a little lacking in the kitchen when it comes to my domestic abilities=) Thanks!
Which aisle in the grocery store is the dried beef in a can on? Same as chicken in a can or tuna? I just can’t figure this one out…
Lost in beef land
That sounds delicious! I just may have to try that!
