Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
Description
This casserole combines cubed raw chicken breast seasoned with dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper with torn ham and slices of Swiss cheese in a baking dish. A creamy topping made from cream of chicken soup, milk, fresh Italian parsley, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper is spread over the layers. The dish is finished with a dry stuffing mix mixed with melted butter to form a crunchy topping.
Baked at 350°F for 45 minutes, the casserole achieves a bubbling, golden crust while the filling cooks through and melds flavors. The layered approach mimics the classic chicken cordon bleu components with a casserole convenience.
This casserole can be served alone or over rice or buttered egg noodles. It can be frozen before baking by covering tightly with foil and thawed overnight, then topped with buttered stuffing and baked as directed.
