Submitted by Sister Phister

4 boneless chicken breast
1 C flour
1 pkg Shake & Bake
4 slices ham (deli or luncheon type)
1/4 C Parmesan Cheese
2 beaten eggs
1 pkg. bleu cheese dressing mix (Good Seasons) opt.
4 slices Swiss Cheese
Parsley flakes

Sauce:(Can double sauce for extra to pour on chicken)
1 small carton sour cream
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

1. Combine Shake & Bake, dressing mix and Parmesan cheese.
2. Flatten out breast; arrange one slice ham and one slice Swiss cheese on top of each breast.
3. Roll up breasts and secure with tooth picks.
4. Roll chicken in flour, then beaten eggs, then the Shake & Bake mixture.
5. Fry rolled chicken in hot oil to brown on all sides.
6. Remove the toothpicks. Arrange in shallow baking dish.
7. Combine soup and sour cream and parsley and pour over chicken.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Notes: Extra sauce is a nice touch to make sure you have enough to pour over. Serve with rice or pasta.

We have had this for Christmas Eve dinner served with Arlene’s rice. Very flavorful!

A standing joke is that there is always a toothpick or two left in the chicken that you can’t find. So whoever is the lucky one to find it, gets to do the dishes!!
