Baking and Sauce

• Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and juices run clear.
• Prepare the sauce: While the chicken is cooking, mix the condensed soup, sour cream, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
• Heat the sauce: Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until well combined.
• Serve: Pour the hot sauce over the chicken rolls and enjoy! Add a side salad or favorite vegetables to finish off your dinner.

Some people have added a teaspoon of paprika and if you don’t want to make the sauce you can also use Knorr hollandaise sauce mix or no sauce at all for your Chicken Cordon Bleu.
