on Nov 02, 2011, Updated Oct 04, 2021 9 Comments Chicken Cordon Blue {Chicken and Ham Rollups} have been a favorite family meal as long as I can remember. Mama would come home from work and start pounding chicken like nobody’s business. Come to think of it, maybe that’s why we have them so much. I can completely destress by pounding the daylights out of a piece of chicken while creating a meal my family loves. That’s a total win-win recipe in my book! I can’t wait to show you how easy this dish comes together. Place one or two pieces of boneless, skinless chicken into a ziptop bag. Press as much of the air out of the bag as possible. Now grab your meat mallet, old rolling pin, or even a cast iron skillet and begin pounding your chicken until it has flattened to about 1/8 inch thick. Then, spread out a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap onto your countertop or kitchen sheet pan for the assembly of your chicken, ham and cheese roll-ups. Now place one slice of your cheese on top of your chicken. Next, pile a little bit of your shaved ham in the center of the chicken. Start rolling your chicken, ham and cheese roll-ups jelly roll style until you have then formed with the ham and cheese in the center of your chicken roll-up. Be sure to tuck the end onto the bottom of your roll-up. Place all of your chicken ham and cheese roll-ups into a 13×9 baking dish lined with aluminum foil. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Combine sour cream and cream of mushroom soup and spread on top of chicken. Alternately, if for some reason you have family members who aren’t crazy about having the “sauce” on their chicken, just go ahead and bake the roll-ups without the sour cream and cream of chicken mixture on top at this point. Place into the preheated oven and bake. If you baked with the “sauce” on top, then simply serve the chicken with your favorite sides. If you baked without the “sauce”, just place the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup into a small saucepan and warm thoroughly. Then allow each person to add it themselves. Here’s how I make my Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe. Enjoy! Robyn
