Simple Chicken Cordon Bleu

When I was growing up, my Mom had a dear friend, Jan DeBloois, who both loved to cook and who was very good at it. Being invited to join the DeBloois family for dinner was a special treat that we all looked forward to. Those happy times, gathered around her table, enjoying good food and wonderful company, made me want to learn to cook so that I could create happy moments for my own family some day.

Jan's recipes are simple and straightforward. Homestyle cooking where you can taste the love that went in to making it.

This is her chicken cordon bleu recipe.


6 skinless chicken breasts
6 slices extra lean ham
6 slices Swiss cheese

Pound chicken breasts until 1/4-inch thick. Roll up 1 ham slice and 1 cheese slice in the center of each chicken breast. Secure with toothpicks.

Place in baking dish and cover with sauce made from 1 can of cream of chicken soup and the equivalent amount of Mr. Yoshida's Original Gourmet Sauce.

Bake at 350-degrees for 45 minutes.
