Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

A delicious crowd pleasing chicken cordon bleu casserole stuffed with chunks of chicken breast and ham, slices of swiss cheese, and topped with bread crumbs baked until golden brown.

I’ve always pictured Chicken Cordon Bleu as some fancy schmancy dish that you only eat at sit down restaurants with cloth napkins.  However, I had never actually eaten this dish until I was grown. By then I figured out that the cloth napkins and water in wine glasses were just an illusion, that this dish is just about as down to earth as any other chicken dish I had eaten.

The thought of putting things into a casserole always makes me happy. When I think of any casserole I think of fast, easy, one dish, and comfort food. This is almost one dish, and if you chose to use a rotisserie chicken, it will be one dish! (Yes!) Your whole family will love this and if you’ve never had chicken cordon blue, then think of this version as a way to get your feet wet, before the non-casserole, more work involved version.

Scroll down for a printable version.

What do you need?
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
1/2 pound thin sliced ham (we used Applegate black forest), chopped
1/4 pound thin sliced swiss cheese (we used Applegate)

Sauce:
3 cups milk
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
Juice from one lemon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (regular paprika is fine)

Topping:
1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz style crackers
salt and pepper
4 tablespoons butter, melted

What do you do?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Place your chicken in to bottom of your dish, followed by a layer of your ham, and topped with the sliced cheese.
Set the dish aside.
Melt your butter for your sauce in a sauce pan over medium to high heat.
Whisk in your flour, cook for a minute and whisk in the milk, mustard, lemon juice, and seasonings.
Cook over medium high heat until it reaches a low boil.
Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened. Should only be a 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour your sauce over the chicken, ham, and cheese.
Top your dish with your crushed crackers, dash the top with salt and pepper once across, drizzle the melted butter on top.
Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Allow the casserole to sit 5 minutes before serving.

    Hello, visiting from Christian Fellowship Friday. This looks delicious and it is a favorite in our house. I am excited to try to make it, and not buy the store kind. Thanks for sharing!

    This is similar to a dish that a sweet lady used to prepare for our pot lucks at our little church near my momma’s house. One of those sweet ladies that you’d tell her you wanted the recipe and she’d rattle off the ingredients… too fast for you to write down, and too long to remember. LOL Thank you for sharing! Happy to have you at the Christian Fellowship Friday linky and looking forward to getting to know you. 🙂 Have a blessed weekend!

      I love old recipes like that, don’t you?! There are many that I remember from Wednesday night pot lucks at church, but have no idea what the names would be now to search for them. Ritz cracker topped chicken would return way too many recipes to rifle through. 🙂 I’m so glad that I ran across Christian Fellowship Friday linky!

    My mouth is watering! I love the flavors of Chicken Cordon Bleu, but it’s something I never actually remember to make. With a household of kids who I’m sure would love this too, I’ve got to get cracking! And a casserole? Talk about a perfect way to experience the flavors without the hassle of doing it the “traditional way.” Thank you very much for sharing!

  • SWEET & SPICY BACON WRAPPED LITTLE SMOKIES hit all the right taste buds! They are so good you can’t stop eating them…Perfect for game day or a holiday party snack! .
. https://www.everydaymadefresh.com/sweet-spicy-bacon-wrapped-little-smokies/ .
.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound thick cut bacon
1 package little smokies
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If making these to bake now, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Otherwise, do this when you're ready to bake them.

2. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and chili powder. Set aside.

3. Line a baking sheet with foil. 
4. Measure out how much bacon to roll for each little smokie. I got about three little smokies per slice of bacon. It's gonna depend on the thickness of the bacon, etc. 
5. Roll the little smokie up, secure with a tooth pick and thoroughly coat with the brown sugar mixture. Place on baking sheet, and repeat until you've rolled all the little smokies up. If you have extra bacon, just coat it with the brown sugar mixture and bake it as well. So good!! 6. When ready to bake, bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp along the edges. .
