it's not too hard. get boneless, skinless chicken breasts...one for each person. get deli sliced ham and swiss cheese. pound out the chicken between two piecs of plastic wrap. put down desired amount of ham and cheese on each. roll them up like a big doobie and hold together with toothpicks. dredge in seasoned flour. egg and bread crumbs. bake at 350 until they are done.

What about a sauce to be sure it's moist?

Yeah, it seems whenever I've had it, there's some type of white sauce......

Beurre Blanc

4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
Salt and white pepper
2 sticks unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 16 pieces

In a 1 1/2 quart saucepan combine vinegar, wine, shallots, salt and white pepper and bring to a simmer.

Simmer liquid until reduced to 1 1/2 tablespoons. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in 2 pieces of chilled butter. As the butter is incorporated into the liquid add another piece and continue to whisk. Return pan to low heat and while constantly whisking add successive pieces of butter. When all of the butter has been added remove from heat. Sauce will be thick and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve immediately.

Okay thanks. I have a receipie that calls for Stove Top on the bottom (kinda like a cassrole) then with cream of mush soup on top. But I like your white sauce MUCH better and it's to IMPRESS. Really appreciate it. Can't go wrong with LOTS of butter.

for the money and the convenience you just can't beat the frozen ones you can buy six in a box at Sams. They taste pretty damn good.

The Chicken Kiev is good too.

I understand where your coming from. Espeically if you put a white wine saude on top. But I don't care for frozen stuff much.
Home made is always better. You can throw in this and that. I'm rather a picky cook and like stuff more tasty then frozen.
I'm pretty burnt out on frozen foods right now.
