Preheat oven to 350ª F.

Put bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Spray a baking dish with vegetable spray and set aside.

Place a chicken breast between 2 pieces of wax or parchment paper. Pound the chicken to 1/4“thickness. Continue until all chicken has been pounded.

Season with salt and pepper on each side. Place 1 slice of ham, and top with 1 slice of cheese. Roll up chicken , then roll in bread crumbs. Place in baking dish, seam side down.

Repeat with all chicken breasts.

Place baking dish in oven for 35 to 40 minutes.

While chicken is baking, prepare sauce.

Sauté onion and mushrooms until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender. Set aside.

Melt butter in a sauce pan. Whisk in flour, and cook for 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Gradually add in milk, whisking continuously until smooth. Add onions and mushrooms. Over medium heat, bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally. Add a tablespoon or two of the white sauce to the sour cream, and mix thoroughly. Pour the sour cream mixture back into the white sauce. Heat through, adjusting seasoning, if necessary.

When chicken is finished, serve over rice, with sauce.
