Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 slices of ham
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • Garlic Salt
  • Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbs butter

Directions
  1. Place chicken breast in Ziploc bag and pound about 1/4-1/2 inch thick with a meat hammer, or you can even use a can of soup. (I use the soup and then make a sauce with it)
  2. Once you have all the breasts done place a slice of ham and cheese on the chicken smooth side down.
  3. Sprinkle garlic salt on cheese and roll up chicken starting at the wide end. Secure with a toothpick.
  4. Melt butter and roll the chicken breasts in butter.
  5. Take bread crumbs and place on a plate then roll buttered breasts in the crumbs. Place in a greased glass baking dish
  6. Pour remaining butter over chicken.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 min or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Sauce

Ingredients

  • Cream of Chicken soup (I use mine to pound the chicken)
  • Milk
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • Italian seasoning
  • Garlic powder

Directions

  1. Mix together soup, milk and 1/4 cup sour cream in a sauce pan over medium heat. I just add enough milk to get the consistency that I like.
  2. Add Italian seasoning and Garlic powder to taste. (I do 2 shakes of Italian and a sprinkle of Garlic powder)
  3. Heat till bubbly and heated through. Pour over chicken when serving. I also like to put the sauce on a rice pilaf or mashed potatoes that i serve with the chicken.

This is one of Kyle's favorite dishes that I make. This chicken is super good and pretty easy to make. It's a perfect way to have a homemade gourmet meal!
