Lazy Chicken Cordon Bleu

By rdgplus3

(From Company’s Coming “Cheese” Book)

Ingredients

• 1 can of condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1/3 c milk
• 6 boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 lbs or 680 g)
• 6 slices cooked ham
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• Topping
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 c fine dry bread crumbs
• 1/3 c grated Swiss cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Mix soup and milk in small bowl

Arrange chicken 1” apart in greased 9x13” baking dish. Place 1 ham slice and 1 cheese slice over each. Spoon soup mixture over top and around chicken.

Topping: Melt margarine in small saucepan. Stir in breadcrumbs and cheese until well mixed. Sprinkle over soup. Bake, uncovered, in 325oF oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until bubbly and chicken is no longer pink. Serves 6.


Note: The original recipe says to pound the chicken breasts until thin– I don’t bother. I also use grated Swiss cheese instead of the slices if I don’t want to buy both.
