Creamy Smoky Baked Chicken With Ham Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Spray 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix soup and sour cream. Arrange chicken in single layer in baking dish. Top with ham. Spoon soup mixture evenly over the top.
• Bake uncovered about 1 hour or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a 3-inch-long pocket down the side, cutting in about halfway. Rub the insides of the pockets with 1 tablespoon of the mustard for all 4 breasts. Stuff each breast with 2 half slices of ham and 1 slice of provolone, folding them to fit. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken; reduce the heat to medium if the chicken becomes too dark towards the end of the cooking time. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil during the last 3 minutes of cooking time to finish cooking the chicken through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Check the temperature at the thickest part of the breast without stuffing.
• Transfer the chicken to 4 plates or a cutting board and add the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard to the skillet. Cook, whisking, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and chopped herbs.
• Depending on the size of the breasts, either put 1chicken breast on each of 4 plates or slice all the breasts and divide among 6 plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes on the side.
• Serving suggestion: Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes, recipe follows.
• Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/8-inch thick and toss with the oil, salt and pepper. Carefully spread the slices on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast until golden and crispy, turning with a metal spatula occasionally and spreading them out to cook evenly, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Chicken -- First and most important, bring your chicken to room temp and season well with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Casserole -- Pick a pan so that all 4 breasts fit well side by side. You want the sauce on the chicken not sitting on the bottom of the pan. Too big of pan does not work well for this dish. Spray with a non stick such as Pam and add your chicken.
• Sauce -- In a small bowl, add the sour cream, soup, white wine and ham and mix well.
• Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast and top with a light sprinkle of black pepper.
• Bake -- Heat the oven to 325 degrees and bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Top with 1/4 cup of the cheese and cook another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and gooey.
• Serve -- I love a mix of wild and white rice (Uncle Bens is great, Whole Foods has a great brown rice, or just any white rice will work. I garnish the rice with fresh scallions (white and green parts) and cooked chicken broth which I think really helps. Then add each breast and any additional sauce over the top. Garnish with the fresh tarragon or you can use parsley. Roasted lemon zucchini is a great side dish.
