Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

[heart_this] · Dec 9, 2019 · 5 Comments

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

A super easy take on chicken cordon bleu where chicken is topped with ham, swiss cheese, a tasty mustard sauce and breadcrumbs before being baked until golden brown, crispy, and all sorts of good!

Chicken cordon bleu is a fabulous chicken dish where chicken breasts are stuffed with ham and swiss cheese, coated in breadcrumbs and cooked until the cheese has melted inside and the outside is nice and golden brown and crispy! It takes a bit of effort to stuff the chicken with the ham and swiss and this is a much simpler casserole version where the chicken is placed in a baking pan and topped with the ham, cheese and breadcrumbs before baking it! Chicken cordon bleu is often served with a mustard sauce and this recipe includes one that smothers the chicken before baking! This chicken cordon bleu casserole could not be easier to make, it tastes better than the original and it is sure to impress, even with dinner guests!

A super easy take on chicken cordon bleu where chicken is topped with ham, swiss cheese, a tasty mustard sauce and breadcrumbs before being baked until golden brown, crispy, and all sorts of good!

ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • salt and pepper taste
  • 1 pound chicken
  • 1/4 pound deli sliced ham
  • 1/4 pound deli sliced swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (gluten-free for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
directions
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it just starts to brown, before sprinkling in the flour, mixing and cooking until it just starts to brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken broth and milk, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes, before mixing in the lemon juice, mustards, miso paste, paprika, salt and pepper and removing from the heat.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking pan, top with the ham followed by the cheese, and the sauce.
  4. Melt the butter, mix in the breadcrumbs followed by the parmesan and sprinkle it over the chicken in the pan.
  5. Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the chicken is cooked through, the breadcrumbs are golden, and the sides are bubbling, about 30-40 minutes.

    This was a fantastic recipe. I love cordon blue but never make it due to how involved and fussy the original recipe is. This casserole takes out the fuss without sacrificing the taste. The only change I made was to omit one of the mustards to avoid it overpowering the taste of the cheese and ham. Fabulous. This recipe is an absolute keeper.

    Excellent !!
    I have always been a fan of Chicken Cordon Bleu, but this is way easier and I would say yummier.
    The sauce is killer but I am a sauce person – a sauce will make or break my view of a restaurant, i.e. Hollandaise sauce and Eggs Benedict.
    I tasted the sauce once cooked and thought OK, but once cooked with the chicken it became amazing.
    Thank you for composing and sharing a great recipe.

    I fixed this tonight and it was soooo good! Didn’t have grainy mustard so used some spicy brown mustard along with the Dijon and it worked out great. Love all of your recipes!
