So today I’ve taken the classic Chicken Cordon Bleu and made it far less fancy. I casseroled it! All the same flavors, but totally easy to make, and delicious to eat.
What Is Chicken Cordon Bleu?
I remember my mom making Chicken Cordon Bleu in the 80s and 90s for us to eat. I used to think it was pretty fancy. It’s a French-inspired dish that is a piece of chicken rolled up with a piece of ham and Swiss, then breaded and fried. There are lots of variations that include veal or beef cutlets, a meat, and other cheeses. All those ingredients are easy to modify into a casserole!
What Ingredients Do I Need For The Casserole Version?
The very simple ingredients necessary for this casserole are:
Chicken: You can bake and dice it yourself, or use a rotisserie chicken to save that step! Ham: I used deli ham in this recipe because I always have some on my fridge, but you can use leftover ham diced up too! Cheese: I’ve listed a combination of Cheddar and Swiss for this recipe, but feel free to use any cheese that melts well! Stuffing: Prepare the stuffing according to the package directions. I recommend using a lower sodium stuffing because you have more than enough sodium in this recipe with the ham, cheese, and condensed soup. Cream of Chicken Soup: This is an ingredient used for flavor and ease. If you don’t like to use condensed soup, no problem…I’m talking about substitutions below!
What Can I Sub For the Condensed Soup?
If you aren’t all aboard the condensed soup train, here are a few options to swap it out in this recipe:
1 cup of sour cream for condensed soup 1 cup Greek Yogurt 2 eggs whisked together with the milk called for in the recipe will also work as a binder in this casserole recipe!
