Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
Serves 6 | 55 min total
Ingredients
3-4 chicken breasts, sliced thin
8 oz deli ham, sliced
8 slices Swiss cheese
2 cups cooked rice or pasta
1 cup heavy cream or milk
1 cup breadcrumbs + 2 Tbsp melted butter for topping
1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt + pepper
Steps:
Prep: Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 9×13 dish. Spread rice/pasta on bottom if using.
Layer: Chicken on bottom → season with salt/pepper/garlic powder → ham → Swiss. Repeat if you have enough.
Sauce: Whisk cream/milk + Dijon + pinch salt/pepper. Pour over like pic 2 so it seeps down.
Top: Mix breadcrumbs + melted butter. Sprinkle over everything for that golden crust in pic 3.
Bake: Cover with foil 30 min, uncover 10-15 min till bubbly and golden. Let it rest 5 min before scooping like pic 4.
Cheat code: Short on time? Use rotisserie chicken + canned cream of chicken soup instead of plain cream.
Making this for dinner tonight or meal prep? I can give you a lower-carb version without rice/pasta too if you want.
