Ingredients:  
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
thin sliced ham
sliced Swiss cheese
lemon pepper (optional)
lemon juice (optional)
milk
cream of chicken soup
butter (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Sprinkle the chicken with the lemon pepper. Place each breast between 2 pieces of waxed paper & pound (a rubber mallet is perfect) until it's 1/4 inch thick. (Thin enough to roll it jelly roll style) Take a thin slice of ham & a thin slice of Swiss cheese & layer, chicken, ham, cheese then roll tightly like a jelly roll & lay it seam side down in a pot (Dutch oven or whatever). Do as many of these as you want. Cover the chicken with a mixture of 2 parts cream of chicken soup & one part milk, add one tsp. lemon juice & several slices/chunks of butter (as many as you'd like, I think we usually put in 6). Then just simmer, no more than a low boil until the chicken is done - we cooked ours for almost 2 hours. Every once in a while lift up the chicken & let some of the sauce run underneath; about halfway through you can turn the chicken over if you want also. Dutch oven style you'd cook it with coals on top & bottom for the first 15 minutes, then another 45 minutes with coals on top of the Dutch oven.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
It will be very tender, juicy & the cheese melts out into the sauce so its real creamy - yum! We also cut some baby red potatoes into quarters & put them in the sauce to cook with the chicken, extra yum!!
This recipe can be done easily baked in a regular oven at about 350 for an hour or so, until the chicken is cooked through.

The Dutch oven Cordon Bleu recipe is tried & true for Robert & I..we even won a cook off with it once at a mule show (there were only 3 teams competing , but hey.) We found the original recipe in the "world championship Dutch oven cookbook" & have tweaked it just a little bit.
