Description

Comfort food at its finest, the Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is an easy-to-make dish that combines tender chicken, ham, and gooey cheese in every bite! This delightful casserole brings together the classic flavors of Chicken Cordon Bleu in a simplified, hearty format that is perfect for family dinners or gatherings with friends.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 pound Chicken Breast, diced

Ham

  • 8 ounces Ham, sliced

Cheese

  • 2 cups Swiss Cheese, shredded

Topping

  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs

Sauce

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole cooks evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Dice your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, season them with salt and pepper, and sauté them in a skillet until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: In a baking dish, layer the cooked chicken, followed by slices of ham, and then sprinkle Swiss cheese over the top. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
  4. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine heavy cream, mustard, and any additional seasonings you like. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
  5. Top with Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole to create a deliciously crispy topping. You can also drizzle a little melted butter for extra flavor.
  6. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

  • Ensure all your chicken pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking throughout the casserole.
  • Allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
  • Keep track of any added ingredients to maintain the balance of flavors and textures.
  • This recipe is a fantastic way to use up leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken.
  • This casserole is best enjoyed hot out of the oven, so timing your meal is key.
