Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 2 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• nonstick cooking spray
• ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 4 slices prosciutto
• 1 tablespoon water, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place chicken on a cutting board. Holding a sharp knife horizontal to the board, cut a 3-inch deep pocket lengthwise in the thick side of each breast. Place a slice of Swiss cheese and two slices of prosciutto in the pocket of each chicken breast. Place in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle chicken evenly with breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of each chicken breast.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

While chicken bakes, prepare sauce by mixing soup, sour cream, and lemon juice together in a pot. Heat over medium heat until sauce thins a bit. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin sauce to desired consistency (should be slightly runny to pour over chicken).

Step 5

Top chicken with sauce and serve.
