Chicken and Bacon Bake

The simplest ingredients often make the tastiest dishes, and this flavoursome combo is no exception.

Serves 4-5
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes

320 g packet triple smoked bacon, sliced
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2-3 stalks celery, finely sliced
4 cups cooked pasta (we used penne)
420 g can Wattie's Condensed Creamy Chicken Soup
½ cup milk
½ cup cream
8 halved sundried tomatoes, roughly chopped (optional)
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan or mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Cook the triple smoked bacon, onion and celery in a dash of oil until the bacon is crispy. Drain well and put in a bowl with pasta.

2. Add the Wattie’s Condensed Creamy Chicken Soup, milk, cream and sundried tomatoes. Mix well and pour into a well greased 6-cup-capacity ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with the grated cheese.

3. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until hot and golden.

Serve garnished with chopped parsley.

I have often used this recipe (either as it is or a variation of it) when I have guests coming and very little time to prepare. Sometimes I replace the pasta with diced pre-cooked potato. Very nice ...always gets compliments.

Yummy! I made this in the morning to the stage just before cooking. When my guests arrived i gave it a stir, put the cheese on top and put it in the oven. It was very tasty.

Not keen on the flavour of the condensed cream of chicken soup but the leftovers were put into some mince & spices, then it was yummy!

Smells great when baking! Easy to make, and easy to trun gluten free! I swapped pasta for GF pasta, and soup for 2 x packets of powdered GF Creamy Chicken soup (with 400mls water). Like other members, I also added chopped chicken.

I have made this recipe lots of time and I do add chopped cooked chicken to it. It is delicious, just like all the recipes from Food in a Minute. I hardly use my other 'million' cookbooks.
