Chicken Cordon Blue

Chicken Cordon Blue

8 chicken breasts (or enough chicken tenders to fill a 9x13 in. pan)
8 thin slices of swiss cheese (or enough to cover the top of the chicken)
8 thin slices of ham; deli style (I cut the ham into est. 1 inch cubes and "sprinkle" the ham over the cheese)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. sour cream


Place chicken in baking dish and top with cheese and ham
Mix soup, water, and sour cream together and spread over the top
Then mix together:
2 cups crushed Ritz crackers
1/2 c. melted butter


Sprinkle of top of soup mixture
Bake at 325 degrees for about an hour.


We had dinner with some friends the other night and she made this. It was so good that I had to get the recipe from her. It is pretty easy to make too!
