Almond Bacon Chicken
(serves 4)

Ingredients:

• 4 bacon strips $.50
  
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) $1.79
  
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of Chicken and Herb (recipes call for cream of onion soup but WinCo doesn't carry it) $1.26
  
• 1/4 cup chicken broth $.40
  
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (bulk section) $.40
  

Directions (this recipe was originally a microwave recipe, I don't cook from the microwave so I put in my oven version as well as the microwave notes.

• In a microwave, cook bacon on paper towels on high for 1 to 2-1/2 minutes or until partially cooked.
• Wrap a bacon strip around each chicken breast. Sprinkle with pepper.
  Place in an oven about 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes (or in the microwave for 5 1/2 minutes).
  
• In a large bowl, combine soup and broth; cover and heat (microwave for 1-1/2 minutes). Spoon around chicken. Cook, uncovered, for about 10-15 minutes (3-6 minutes longer in microwave) or until juices run clear. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with almonds. Yield: 4 servings.
  
  Add Knorr's Chicken Pasta that is on sale for $.85
