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 350º 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!

Aunt Elaine’s Holiday Sweet Potatoes

Aunt Elaine’s Holiday Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes, boiled in skins
1/2 stick margarine
1 T. to 1/2 C. brown sugar, to taste
Miniature marshmallows

Boil potatoes in skin until done. (Note: Be sure to pick out sweet potatoes of similar size for even cooking. Don’t poke potatoes. Only check them when you’re pretty sure they’re done – if you poke them too many times, can make them icky.) Drain and hold under cold water to peel. Mash them and add butter and brown sugar. Bake at 350º until bubbling around edges. Add marshmallows about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Can do the day ahead.
