- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
Topping
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking inside the slow cooker.
- Assemble the rolls: Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, roll them up tightly, and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Arrange in slow cooker: Place the rolled chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker evenly.
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the condensed cream of chicken soup with milk until smooth, then pour over the chicken rolls in the slow cooker.
- Add breadcrumb topping: In another bowl, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs with melted butter, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken and sauce.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Finish and serve: Remove toothpicks carefully before serving. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
Notes
- Substitute different cheeses such as Gruyère or mozzarella for a unique flavor twist.
- Use low-fat ham and cheese and light cream of chicken soup to reduce calories.
- For gluten-free options, use gluten-free seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Chicken rolls can be prepared the night before and refrigerated; cook in the slow cooker the next morning.
