Listen, College Khalian was another Khalian. I was just trying to survive everything and had a good time. money? not much. time? none. skill? I mean, I was able to do some things…
Law and Order SVU? yes.
My second year roommate introduced me to Law and Order SVU. Once a week, we watched the episode while eating either a chicken cordon blew or a New York Burrito in the freezer from the other side of town. Those frozen chicken cordon blew were flashy and I enjoyed every bite.
With children, all of that content can no longer do a little more for the soul. And I really can’t get behind frozen chicken logs, so I needed a new recipe to regain the nostalgia. This casserole is just that.
What is Chicken Cordon Bleu?
Chicken Cordon Bleu is a French dish in which chicken is wrapped around ham and cheese, breadcrumbs and fried or deep-fried foods. This casserole recipe uses all the classic chicken cordon blue flavors without the boring task of creating and frying rolled chicken. If you do, it’s kind of a broken down, simpler chicken cordon blew.

What this recipe is made…
Buy Costco rotisserie chicken and use food savers to divide it into three bags, and when you need chicken for enchiladas, soup, etc., it is already cooked and ready. I also think it will bring the best flavor to this particular dish. This is damp and seasoned, so I think it’s seasoned without being on top.
Recipe Alternatives and Variations
Swiss cheese is a classic cheese for the chicken cordon brew, but if you’re not a fan of Swiss cheese, you can exchange it for mozzarella, proboron and white cheddar.
If you don’t have ham on hand (hello Easter left!!), you can use bacon instead. Make sure it is cooked first.
Add cooked egg noodles to this casserole to make it even more child-friendly. The kids love noodles!
What to offer with chicken cordon blue casserole
Whenever I make a rich, cocky casserole, I love bread that I soak in the sauce. Our potatoes are either a great option or our amazing herbal focaciapan!
With all these rich flavors, I like to make bright and bright side dishes with it. Spinach Strawberry Feta Salad is a great addition or tomato cucumber salad.
Vegetable side dishes are also great options like roasted broccoli and sautéed sugar snap peas.
Can I make chicken cordon blue casserole in advance?
This is a great recipe! It can be configured a few days in advance. Follow the written recipe until you add toasted panko crumbs to the top. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to bake. Bake with breadcrumbs on top as stated in the instructions.
This is a great idea to make for a newborn baby or a sick neighbor.
Storage and reheat
Leftovers should be stored in airtight containers in the fridge. It will last for up to 5 days. You can also cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap. And the casserole can be easily reheated in the same bread.
It is recommended to reheat the casserole in your oven at 350°C for 10-15 minutes or until heated. You can also reheat in the microwave if you’re just warming a single serving for lunch.
This easy-to-make casserole is a twist on the classic French dish, chicken cordon brew. The chicken, ham and Swiss cheese layer is topped with a creamy Dijon sauce and grilled perfectly. Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is a delicious and pleasant meal on weekend nights!
