Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
8 thin slices of ham like shaved ham
4 slices swiss cheese cut in half
salt
pepper
¼ cup melted butter
½ cup crushed cornflakes

Sauce:

10¾ oz can cream of chicken soup
½ cup reduced fat sour cream
1 tsp lemon juice
milk

Instructions

Place 1 chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or inside a gallon sized freezer bag. Pound chicken until all even in thickness. You want it to be about 1/8 inch thick. Continue this process with each chicken breast.
Lightly salt and pepper one side of the chicken breasts. Then place 2 slices of the ham on the center of each chicken breast. Then top ham with 2 halves of swiss cheese. Then roll up chicken breasts jelly roll style with ham and chicken on the inside. Tuck in ends and seal well. Secure each chicken roll with bakers twine or toothpicks.
Dip each chicken roll in butter then roll in cornflake crumbs until coated. Place chicken rolls in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 40 minutes until juices run clear and chicken is golden brown.
When the chicken has cooked for 30 minutes makes the sauce. Place the soup, sour cream, and lemon juice in a sauce pan. Add a little milk to help thin out. Heat over medium heat until heated through. Add more milk if needed to make the sauce the desired thickness.
Serve chicken rolls topped with sauce.
