Chicken wrapped in Ham & Cheese

A friend of ours from church brought this dish over after Liza’s surgery. It kind of reminds me of a chicken cordon bleu. She said it was a family favorite and it turned out to be a hit with our family as well, including the kids. You can’t beat that.

Chicken wrapped in Ham & Cheese

1 pkg. boneless chicken breasts
Thin sliced cooked ham (Deli style)
Swiss cheese
1 can, cream of chicken soup
8 oz. sour cream
Dash of Worcestershire
8 oz. shredded mozzarella

  1. Slice chicken breasts in half
  2. Wrap a slice of ham around each chicken breast
  3. Wrap a slice of Swiss cheese around the ham
  4. Lay in a 9×13″ glass pan

SAUCE

  1. Mix the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and Worcestershire together and pour over the chicken wrapped in ham and cheese.

Bake at 350ยบ for 1 hour. Take out and spread shredded mozzarella on top of chicken and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

The sauce in the dish is great poured over baked potatoes or broccoli. Can be made a day in advanced and can also freeze. This dish makes for wonderful leftovers!
