Ingredients
Chicken and Ham: Cooked chicken and deli ham make this recipe a cinch. Grab a rotisserie chicken and freeze the extra for future recipes. Or use leftover holiday turkey or ham from the freezer.
Sauce: A simple can of soup, sour cream, and milk melted with cheese makes a rich and velvety sauce.
Cheese: Swiss is the classic cheese in chicken cordon bleu and a cup of mozzarella makes the dish extra cheesy.
Pasta: Cordon bleu casserole calls for egg noodles, but if using semolina pasta, choose heartier pasta shapes like penne, bowtie, or medium shells.
Breadcrumbs: Buy them or make homemade breadcrumbs to use up leftover bread or crusts. Season them however you like.
Variations
- Use up leftover veggies, toss in leftover cheese, or use white or brown rice instead of egg noodles.
- Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream for fewer calories.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of parmesan with the breadcrumbs in Step 5.
