Creamy Smoky Baked Chicken With Ham Recipes

CHICKEN HAM AND SWISS CHEESE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Take two pieces of ham and one piece of cheese. Roll the cheese between the two pieces of ham. Set aside.
• Slice through the middle of the chicken breasts and butterfly each piece of chicken being careful not to cut all the way through. Season each side with paprika, salt and black pepper to your taste.
• Tuck one ham and Swiss roll-up into each chicken piece and folding chicken over to secure.
• Place into the prepared baking dish with the ham-cheese side down. As the chicken cooks, and becomes firmer, the ham roll-up will naturally be held in place.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, tarragon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with grated Swiss cheese.
• In a small bowl toss the cracker crumbs with 1 Tbsp of melted butter, then sprinkle on top. Dust with paprika.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the juices run clear. Chicken should be fork tender. Serve over noodles, if desired.
