This is one of my favorite recipes to serve at dinner parties. The addition of the dry sherry really gives the sauce a wonderfully delicious flavor so please don't omit it. : ) And, don't forget to remove the toothpicks before serving to your guests. : )

    Dip each roll into beaten egg and coat well with bread crumbs. In a heavy skillet, melt the butter and brown the chicken rolls. Place chicken in a 12 x 8 inch baking dish, reserving the drippings.

    To the drippings, add the cheese soup, sour cream and sherry. Stir well and pour over the chicken. Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
