Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe

This recipe is for 6 children increase the recipe as needed for your kids cooking party.

6 chicken breasts
6 slices Swiss cheese or cheddar 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 Cordon Bleu kids cooking party each child should have a small rectangle 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. Have 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.
