This recipe was appropriately named. 
It certainly is "elegant" and "company good"
but just as nice is the ease with which it is prepared

Serving size: 1 chicken breast per person

4 - 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar (4 oz.) Armour dried beef slices
4 - 6 slices bacon (one for each chicken breast)
2 cups sour cream
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Spray  2"deep 9" x 13" pan with non-fat cooking spray. Finely chop dried beef in food processor.
Evenly spread chopped dried beef on bottom of pan.
Wrap one slice of bacon around each chicken breast.

Mix sour cream and cream of mushroom soup together, beating with a wisk to blend well. 
Pour mixture over chicken. 
Cover pan with foil and bake in a 275°F (very LOW temperature) oven for three hours. 

Serve with rice or mashed potatoes, as this recipe makes its own wonderfully delicious gravy.

I guarantee you will make this recipe over and over again, for those occasions when you want to prepare something "special" with minimal effort.
