Chicken Cordon Bleu

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices cooked ham
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 tsp water

Sauce:
1 can cream of mushroom
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tbsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 7x11 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness. Combine egg and water. Sprinkle each piece of chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place chicken on bread crumbs. Place 1 cheese slice and 1 ham slice on top of each breast. Roll up each breast, and secure with a toothpick. Place in baking dish, and sprinkle chicken evenly with bread crumbs.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from oven, and place 1/2 cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.

In small sauce pan combine cream of chicken, sour cream and lemon juice. Heat through. Pour over chicken when serving.
