Stuffed Chicken Rolls in Slow Cooker

We have been making this recipe for stuffed chicken rolls in the slow cooker for as long as I can remember. I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine many years ago, well over 25 years, and have been making it ever since. It’s one of those “go to” chicken recipes. Tenderized chicken breasts are stuffed with ham and cheese, then cooked in a delicious sauce. Stuffed Chicken Rolls in Slow Cooker is an easy and delicious version of Chicken Cordon Bleu.

Cordon Bleu

Cordon Bleu is a French term that refers to a chicken or veal dish. In which a thin scallop of veal or chicken is topped with a thin slice of prosciutto or other ham and Gruyere or Swiss cheese and made into a meat scallop. The stacked meats and cheese are then breaded and sautéed until golden brown. This techinque can be used to make many different meat and cheese combinations. A meat scallop is a thin, boneless, round or oval shaped slice of meat or fish that is usually lightly breaded and quickly sautéed. Known as escalope in French. Meat scallops are used to make chicken or veal cordon bleu, as in this recipe. 

Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker also called crockpot, the slow cooker is an electric ‘casserole’ that cooks food with low, steady, moist heat. It’s designed to cook food over a period of 8 to 12 hours. These appliances range in size from one to six quarts. Slow cookers can cook a dish while you’re at work or away from home and they don’t heat up the kitchen. Slow Cookers have a stoneware insert, which is really relatively easy to clean.
