Disclosure: I am participating in the Chicken Farmers of Canada campaign managed by SJ Consulting. I received compensation in exchange for my participation in this campaign. The opinions on this blog are my own.
I know I shared a healthy chicken recipe in January, but February is all about LOVE. And for me, love is comfort foods! They fill your belly and warm your soul. Nothing wrong with a little moderation, right?
Since we are talking about love, I must say I do LOVE Canadian chicken for several reasons. Yes, it’s delicious and versatile. Chicken can be used in so many ways and I frequently share chicken recipes here on the blog. I should also point out that Canadian chicken comes from our hardworking Canadian farmers with 90%+ being family owned and operated. When you buy Canadian chicken, you know you are getting a product of the highest quality. Canadian chicken farmers must follow a strict and mandatory auditable Animal Care Program to ensure the highest standards of animal care are upheld.
I always look for the Raised by Canadian Farmer mark on my chicken. Some stores don’t have it yet so I encourage you to speak to the store managers about it. Let them know that it matters to you to know where your chicken comes from. In my area, Walmart is the only store that I’ve seen that has it so far.

Canadian chicken is the star of this mouthwatering dinner recipe: Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole. I love Chicken Cordon Bleu, but don’t make it often. I think it’s a bit too fussy for me. The casserole version isn’t though. It’s a throw everything together kinda recipe that turns out beautifully.
It has everything I love about Chicken Cordon Bleu without all the fuss. If you love easy recipes that are filling and comforting, this one is for you.
The recipe uses cooked chicken so it’s a great option when you have leftovers. If not, just pop some chicken breasts in the oven or even boil them! I boiled mine to make this recipe. First timer here and they turned out great!
I love how rich and satisfying this recipe is. I didn’t have any room for dessert after eating it! It’s a keeper.

Comfort Food has no restrictions : ANYTIME: Traditionally stews were the norm in my youth. Having said that I love the Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew recipe. Valentine’s gift – Crock Pot – Mom’s request. Anxious to try. Thanks for the post.

The flavors all seem to be in the Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole (except that I’d use rye bread w/caraway seds) , but it sounds as though it would come out ‘mushy’. Has anyone made this, and how did it come out? My kids won’t eat anything mushy, Please reply.
