Notes
- Such a simple thing, but if you forget the casserole is surely going to stick to the pan and possibly burn as well.
- The cheese, ham, Dijon mustard, and chicken bouillon all have plenty of salt. So it’s best to use unsalted butter so you don’t risk accidentally making a salty casserole.
- When you add the chicken broth and milk to the flour mixture you must whisk it until smooth and then often as it cooks to prevent lumps from forming.

- You can store chicken cordon bleu casserole in an airtight container or wrapped well in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months! To reheat the leftovers, just put it in the microwave for about 4 minutes on medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 12 minutes. If frozen, the best option is to reheat it in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
