1 hrsCOOK
4 hrsREADY
5 hrsFlatten chicken breasts thin, roll them around slices of ham and Swiss, then let the crockpot work its low-and-slow magic for 4 hours.
Browning the rolled chicken first locks in juices and adds color, while cream of mushroom soup enriched with a splash of sherry creates restaurant-worthy sauce.
Secure each bundle with toothpicks and remember to warn diners before they dig in.
Chef Tips
- Pound chicken to even thickness so it cooks uniformly
- Brown all sides of the rolls before adding to crockpot for deeper flavor
- Use thinly sliced deli ham for easiest rolling
- A splash of sherry adds sophistication but it’s optional if cooking for kids
