Made this dish over the weekend for a potluck and it was a big hit. I used cream
of chicken soup. Also I added my comments to the recipe and they are
highlighted.

Death By Chicken
This chicken was given its name because you could put this chicken dish in the
oven before you left for the funeral service and when you returned, it was
ready, just in time for the bereaved. It is from a Southern cookbook ?Being Dead
is no Excuse ? The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect
Funeral.? The original recipe called for Cream of Asparagus soup but Campbell?s
no longer makes that type so any cream soup will work.
6 slices uncooked bacon
10 chicken breast tenderloins
1 cup uncooked instant brown rice (I have used white as well)
1 can (10 ? ounce) cream of anything soup
1 cup water (I used part white wine)
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
Grating of fresh nutmeg
Salt and pepper
Sprinkling of cayenne pepper
Cover the bottom of a 9x13? baking dish with the bacon. Put the chicken
tenderloins on top of the bacon. Pour the rice evenly over the chicken. Mix one
cup of water with the canned soup. To this mixture add basil, oregano, and
nutmeg, and pour it over the chicken. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and cayenne.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 90 minutes.
Serves 8
