- 4 chicken breasts
- 8 slices ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
For the Sauce
- 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ cup breadcrumbs optional topping
Instructions
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Place the chicken in a single layer so it cooks evenly.
- Lay two slices of ham on each piece of chicken.
- Place a slice of cheese over the ham so it melts directly into the chicken.
- In a bowl, whisk the cream of chicken soup, cream, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Pour the mixture evenly so every piece is coated.
- If you want a textured topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
- Cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
- Check that the chicken is soft and cooked through.
- Turn off the heat and let the dish settle so the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serving: Scoop the chicken gently and spoon extra sauce over the top. A sprinkle of parsley or a squeeze of lemon makes it taste even fresher.
