Ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 (pounded to 1/8 inch thickness)
cooked ham slices
8 (nothing needed)
Swiss cheese slices
4 (cut into 1 inch pieces)
salt
to taste (nothing needed)
black pepper
to taste (nothing needed)
dried thyme
1 teaspoon (nothing needed)
melted butter
1/4 cup (melted)
corn flakes cereal
1/2 cup (crushed into crumbs)
condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) (nothing needed)
sour cream
1/2 cup (nothing needed)
lemon juice
1 teaspoon (nothing needed)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Place each chicken breast half between sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken to about 1/8 inch thickness. This will help ensure they cook evenly and are easy to roll.
3
Take a slice of ham and lay it flat. Place a piece of Swiss cheese on top and season lightly with dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Roll the ham and cheese tightly, jellyroll-style, and set aside.
4
Now, take each pounded chicken breast and place the ham and cheese roll in the center. Carefully roll the chicken around the filling, tucking in the ends, and secure with toothpicks.
5
In a small bowl, pour melted butter. In a separate shallow dish, place the crushed corn flakes. Dip each chicken roll into the melted butter, ensuring it is well-coated, then roll in the corn flakes, pressing to adhere.
6
Arrange the coated chicken rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with juices running clear.
7
While the chicken is baking, prepare the Cordon Bleu sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and lemon juice. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
8
Serve the chicken rolls hot, drizzled with the creamy sauce, and enjoy the delicious flavors!
