"I have been making this for years and is always a hit at dinner parties. Easy because you can make ahead and cook when guests arrive."

• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, flattened until thin

1. Place one slice of ham on each chicken breast. Then place one slice of swiss cheese on that. Roll-up jelly roll style.
2. Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
3. Dip rolled chicken in eggs then coat generously with bread crumb mixture.

3 stars, the sauce and the ample breading did not pass my calorie justification test (if I am going to eat something with a lot of calories, it must taste wonderful enough for me to plan my diet around it). The chicken/ham/swiss cheese roll was good, but I thought the amount of breading was excessive (and needed some melted butter). The sauce was unremarkable. If I desired a sauce, I would use a creamy parmesan cheese sauce or a supreme sauce for the wow factor. The cream of mushroom soup with sour cream did not deliver any payback to me; why not forget the sour cream, and add 1/4 cup of white wine and 1/4 cup evaporated milk to 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup instead? I admit I am picky about sauces; I usually skip them entirely if they are mediocre. But I loved the chicken/ham/swiss cheese combination. Made for PAC Spring 2008.
