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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Pour the remaining creamy mixture evenly over the chicken rolls, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and remove toothpicks before serving. Enjoy this creamy, easy spin on Chicken Cordon Bleu!
