{Cheesy Green Bean} Chicken Roll-Ups

I, like many people have certain recipes that have been past down through the generations and this chicken roll-up recipe is one of my families favorites that came from my Great-Grandmother. It isn't made very often anymore but it's ALWAYS a winner with us!

Since we were spending the evening with my Grandmother yesterday, I felt like we should have something yummy that would bring us good memories and full bellies. This is one of those recipes.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken tenders or breasts
• 1 can french style green beans
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 4-5 pieces of sliced cheese (any other type of cheese will work fine too)
• Toothpicks

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Using a zip lock storage bag or two pieces of plastic wrap and a mallet, pound out your chicken into flat cutlets. Don't worry if this isn't the easiest thing you've ever done. Even if the chicken rips a little it's not a big deal. 

Next, add a half slice of cheese on top of the pounded out chicken, then add about 2 tablespoons of the green beans. Roll the chicken up making sure to keep the cheese and green beans in the center, and secure it with a toothpick.

Place chicken bundles in a glass baking dish. A 9 X 13 or an 8 X 8 work fine depending on how much chicken you're cooking but I've found that it cooks best in a glass pan.

Next, evenly distribute the cream of chicken soup over the chicken bundles, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes if using tenders, and 40 - 45 minutes if using breasts.

There's just something about the combination of flavors in this dish that is so delicious! The cheese and the juice from the chicken help to make a creamy cheesy gravy that is perfect over mashed potatoes or rice. 

Do you have any special recipes that have been passed down to you? I'd love to hear about them.
