Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is a recipe that my Foods Committee for 4-H used for their County Officials Dinner. I thought that it turned out amazing! Everyone there loved it.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
4 slices Provolone cheese
4 slices dried beef
8 slices bacon*
1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt

Directions:
- Pound each chicken breast to ¼ inch thickness. Place 1 slice of cheese and one slice of dried beef on top. Roll chicken, tucking in sides to secure cheese and beef. Wrap one piece of bacon* around the chicken roll.
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream, chicken soup and seasoned salt. Put a few spoonfuls in bottom of greased dish. Place chicken rolls seam side down in dish. Spoon remainder of soup mixture over chicken rolls.
- Cook in oven for approximately 3 hours at 300 degrees or 45 minutes at 350 degrees, then microwave for 10 minutes.

4 servings.

* I cook bacon slightly before wrapping around the chicken.
