kids cooking party.
6 chicken breasts
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices ham
Can cream chicken soup
½ pint sour cream
½ Cup milk
Give each child a pair of gloves if using them. This will help with
kitchen sanitation when handling chicken but if you prefer they can use
their hands and wash well after handling chicken. To start this chicken

aluminum pan, 2 sheets of waxed paper, a chicken breast, a slice of
cheese and a slice of ham. Have each child place a chicken breast
between two sheets of waxed paper. With a meat mallet or rolling pin
have them beat chicken several times to flatten. Place chicken in
aluminum pan. Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on top of the
chicken. Roll up and hold together with toothpicks if needed. Remove
gloves and wash hands.
In a bowl have one child add
a can of cream of chicken soup and another child add sour cream. Take
turns stirring. Add 1/2 Cup of milk if you'd like a thinner sauce. Each
kid chef can spoon sauce over their chicken. Have each child put their
name on their pan with masking tape. Cook at 350 degrees for 30-40
minutes until chicken is cooked through. While the chicken is cooking,
prepare a dessert or other recipe you have planned, decorate aprons,
chef hats or play cooking games.
