Chicken and Ham Roll-Ups

from the fabulous Kathy Rickertson:

2 -3 boneless chicken halves
about 10-15 slices deli ham (the Kirkland brand from Costo is perfect cut in half the short way)
block of Swiss cheese (you will only use a portion), cut into about 1/4"-wide sticks (however many strips of chicken you end up cutting is how many pieces of cheese you'll need)
(This should serve about 4-6, adjust accordingly)

Sauce:
1 can cream of chicken soup (of course I use one recipe of the SOS mix!)
1 cup sour cream

These are basically cheater chicken cordon bleu!  :)   I would allow for 2 roll-ups for kids and 4 for adults.  Personally I only eat 2 and then fill up on veggies since they are deliciously cheesy and creamy and therefore probably not the best for my non-exercising self ;)

Prep:  Cut your ham slices in half (however many you would like for your family - if you end up with extra rolls I have frozen the assembled rolls, sans sauce, and thawed and baked them later with great results).  Take a couple of chicken breasts and then slice then into strips (like you would for fajitas) in a diagonal direction - I get about 8-10 strips per breast.  Feel free to place smaller pieces of chicken together to equal a longer piece when assembling.  From a block of Swiss cheese, cut off a chunk about 1/4" wide.  Cut that into long sticks (like a cheese stick).  Slice as many cheese sticks as you have chicken strips.
Assembly:  Lay out the ham slices and place a slice of chicken breast and a cheese stick in each.
    

Roll up so the chicken and cheese are rolled up inside the ham. 

Lay roll-ups side by side in shallow baking dish (seam side down) misted with oil.  I don't stack them.
Mix sauce ingredients and spread on top of roll-ups.  Cover and bake 1 to 1.5 hrs at 325 degrees F.
Enjoy!
