    What Is Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole?

    This is the casserole form of classic chicken cordon bleu. The original recipe involves thin chicken breasts stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese and covered in buttery Panko breadcrumbs. But all that stuffing and breading is too involved for busy weeknights. So, I took these classic ingredients and made a casserole version. It’s a kid-friendly recipe that everyone loves. 

    Can I Use Leftover Chicken?

    Yes, you can use leftover chicken in this recipe. It’s also a great way to use rotisserie chicken. If you’re going to bake the chicken, I suggest using boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 

    Can I Make Ahead? 

    Yes, you can make this easy casserole ahead of time. Store the baked casserole covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Then, reheat it in the oven, and dinner is ready! 

    Can I Add Pasta Or Rice? 

    This is a fantastic way to make a casserole even more filling and comforting. I suggest serving it with egg noodles or your favorite type of rice. You could replace the white bread, eggs, and milk with flat egg noodles or rice.

    FAQ

    Can you use leftover ham in cordon bleu casserole?

    This is a wonderful way to use leftover ham from other recipes. 

    How do you make a gluten-free casserole? 

    I suggest using gluten-free bread. If you don’t have any, leave the bread out and use gluten-free pasta instead. 

    What can I use instead of cream of chicken soup? 

    To make a thick sauce to replace the cream of chicken soup, make a gravy out of chicken broth and a roux (one tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water). 

    How many servings does this make? 

    This recipe makes about six servings.
