Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 large slices deli-style ham slices
- 4 large slices Swiss cheese slices
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Lay each chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Carefully slice each one in half horizontally to create thin, flattened pieces. If needed, gently pound the thicker parts to ensure even thickness.
Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll each piece up tightly and secure with toothpicks, if necessary.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Spread a thin layer of the creamy mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the rolled chicken breasts seam-side down on top of the mixture.
Pour the remaining creamy mixture evenly over the chicken rolls, ensuring they are fully coated.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the top of the chicken.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and remove toothpicks before serving. Enjoy this creamy, easy spin on Chicken Cordon Bleu!
