Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey bacon instead of traditional bacon. If you want to add more flavor, sauté some mushrooms before adding them to the casserole dish. You can also substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken for a different taste. Make sure to secure the bacon well so it doesn’t unravel during cooking.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with Church Supper Potatoes for a comforting meal. For added freshness, serve alongside a simple green salad or steamed vegetables. You could also serve it with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a baking dish and cover with foil to retain moisture. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-30 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bacon chewy.
