I am not much of a cook, but this was still very easy to make (and kinda fun, too!). I only used 1lb of the ground chicken because I got it on sale prepackaged, but still used the full amount of ham and swiss. However, my husband said he would've liked even more cheese or something to give it a slightly stronger flavor. Will definitely make again, next time with a bit more cheese.

This really was easy to make and was actually fun to do. :) Taste was great especially for sandwiches

Loved this recipe! I found it QUITE easy to make - much easier than pounding breasts flat and all of that accompanying mess of true Bleu. After baking, I cut into individual slices and wrapped as such to freeze. We can use them for individual microwave meals - great for working high school students.
