Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole



Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Serves:?10

This easy chicken cordon bleu casserole is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. An amazing dinner that combines all your favorite flavors of chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese but is super fast to prepare. Cordon bleu casserole uses rotisserie chicken but you can also use leftover chicken as well! We all love an easy chicken casserole recipe in 2024 when life is crazy busy!

For the past 15 years, Carole has shared her culinary adventures cooking and baking for her six brutally honest children here on My Kitchen Escapades.

Author: Author: Carole Jones

Recipe Type: Dinner

Total Time: 1 hr


Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 45 min

Ingredients:

1 large rotisserie?chicken, meat removed and pulled (about 5-6 C)
1/2?pound sliced deli-style black forest?ham, chopped
1/2?pound sliced?Swiss cheese
4 Tb?butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 Tb?flour
3?cups milk
2 Tb?lemon juice
1 Tb dijion?mustard
1 1/2?teaspoons salt
1/2?teaspoon smoked?paprika
1/2?teaspoon pepper
4 Tb melted?butter
1 1/4?cups seasoned?bread crumbs
1/4?cup Parmesan cheese

Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9¡Á13 casserole dish with nonstick spray.
Layer the chicken in the bottom of the dish followed by the ham and finally the swiss cheese.

Melt the butter over medium heat, in a medium saucepan, and add garlic as it melts. Keep stirring with a rubber spatula to avoid burning.

Stir in salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and lemon juice.

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.

Add the milk, slowly. Whisk often to keep clumps from forming. Turn the heat to high and cook until the sauce thickens and boils completely.

Pour the finished sauce over the base layer already in the dish.

Mix the topping ingredients, in a small bowl, until the butter is evenly distributed over the crumbs.

Sprinkle over the top of the dish and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving so the sauce with thicken just a bit.

Notes
Feel free to use any leftover chicken you have on hand instead of a rotisserie chicken.



What to serve with Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole?

Because the finished dish does have a creamy sauce over the top, something simple that would go well with the sauce is perfect.
¨C Steamed rice, couscous or quinoa
¨C Cooked pasta such as egg noddles, rotini or orzo all work great
¨C Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
¨C Oven Roasted Cauliflower
¨C Roasted asparagus
¨C Green salad with a garlic balsamic vinaigrette


Can I use leftover chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely! Use whatever seasoned leftover chicken you have on hand. Taking the extra time to pick the chicken off the bones is not at the top of my favorite tasks either. Another great option is to go into the freezer section of the grocery store and purchase pre-cooked, frozen chicken and let it thaw before using it in the recipe. If you are using leftover chicken breasts or thighs, that you might have roasted or cooked on the BBQ over the weekend, I recommend shredding or chopping the chicken into bite-size pieces. If you are shredding it remember to warm the chicken slightly in the microwave or let it come to room temperature as it is much easier to pull or shred. The same goes for using pre-cooked frozen chicken that you have let thaw.


How to make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole with Pasta

You can easily add pasta to your chicken cordon bleu casserole so it is a complete one dish meal. Simply add 2 cups of cooked egg noodles to the bottom of the pan with the chicken and ham on top. I recommend cooking the pasta or egg noodles 1-2 minutes less than the package instructions so they do not get mushy when baking. You can also toss the noodles in 1/2 cup of the sauce prior to placing in the pan and then pour the remaining sauce on top after you add the chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese.

2. Make the dip: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon
of salt. Stir in the cooled caramelized onions.
3. Chill and serve: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, garnish with freshly chopped chives.

list end
INSTRUCTIONS:
list of 6 items
1. Preheat the?
?oven:
?Preheat your oven to 425¡ãF (220¡ãC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
2. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Place each potato on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to make thin, even slices across
the potato, about 1/8-inch apart. Be careful not to cut all the way through¡ªleave about 1/4 inch at the bottom of each potato. To make this easier, you
can place the potato between two chopsticks or the handles of wooden spoons as you slice, which will stop the knife from cutting all the way through.
3. Season the potatoes: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Use a brush
to coat each potato with the butter mixture, making sure to get the mixture into the slices. Season the potatoes generously with salt, black pepper, and
chopped herbs if using.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Baste the potatoes with the remaining
butter mixture halfway through baking. The potatoes are done when the edges are crispy and golden brown, and the centers are tender.
5. Add cheese (optional): If you¡¯re adding cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of baking, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.
6. Serve: Remove the Hasselback Potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them hot, topped with additional herbs, grated cheese, sour cream,
or chives, if desired.
