Blu Chicken (a.k.a. Chicken Cordon Blu)

Years ago the kids heard me say chicken cordon blu and they called it blue chicken. The name stuck and so that is what we always call this yummy dish.


Ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts
Swiss cheeses slices
Ham slices (I use sandwich meat unless I have leftovers)
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
Parmesan Cheese

You will also need a sharp knife and several toothpicks.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Slice the side of each piece of chicken so that it opens, but is still attached on one side.



2. In each piece of chicken place one slice of ham (usually folded) and one slice of cheese. Use 2 or 3 toothpicks to keep each piece together and closed. If there are any extra pieces of cheese or ham that have been exposed to the chicken juices I cut them into small pieces and spread on top.


3. Place in baking dish. Put a spoonful of Cream of Chicken soup on each piece of chicken. Then spread around.

4. Sprinkle with desired amount of Parmesan cheese and some pepper.
5. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. When it is done I often sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese on top.
