***UPDATED AUGUST 2023*** This treasured recipe has been a family favorite of ours for years. It often shows up on birthdays and other celebrations, but is easy enough to make for a week night dinner as well.
The classic combination of ham, Swiss cheese and chicken lightly breaded and baked is a delightful, to be sure. Included is a simple gravy recipe we put on top.
Be sure you filet each of the chicken breasts. It helps them cook more quickly.
Ingredients
- Chicken:
- 5 chicken breasts
- 1 C Italian bread crumbs
- 5 slices deli ham
- 5 slices Swiss cheese
- Sauce:
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 3 T sour cream
- 1 T butter
Instructions
1. Fillet your chicken breasts. That means stick a sharp knife into the top of the breast and through the middle, cutting it into two pieces. This will give you smaller pieces of chicken to work with.
2. Cut your ham and cheese into 10 pieces as well. I usually purchase both my deli ham and Swiss cheese at Costco.
3. Place a piece of ham and a piece of Swiss cheese in the center of each slice of chicken and roll it up.
4. Place your Italian bread crumbs into a pie plate and dip each chicken wrap into the crumbs.
5. Place the breaded chicken into a sprayed 9x13 pan.
6. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Remove the tin foil and bake for another 15 minutes.
7. When the chicken in almost done combine the sauce ingredients in a medium sized sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until all ingredients are warmed through. Serve over the top of the chicken.
This may be a dumb question, but do you dilute the soup or just use condensed?
Hi Poky,
That's not a dumb question at all. Just leave the soup condensed. Once it heats up with the butter and sour cream it will thin out quite a lot. If you would like it to be thinner after it has heated through just put a bit of milk in to thin it out. Good luck! Hope you love it!

Hi Jamie, I love your recipes! They are an inspiration most nights when I just can’t bring myself to being creative for dinner! One question – although there was a time when I LOVED using canned, concentrated soup for sauces, age is now upon me and is not very tolerant of the sodium and fat in those soups. Any recommendations on how to make the sauce without using canned soup? (simple as making a roux and adding some spice/herbs?) thanks again!!
