Description

This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole recipe offers a delicious and simpler twist on the classic chicken cordon bleu, using layers of chicken breasts, shaved ham, creamy sauce, provolone cheese, and crunchy panko breadcrumbs, all baked together to perfection. It’s a comforting, cheesy casserole perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 3 chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1/4 lb shaved ham

Dairy & Sauces

  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream

Pantry

  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 package Italian dressing mix
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 375˚F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Mix Sauce. In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Italian dressing mix, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well blended.
  3. Assemble Layers. Arrange the chicken breasts flat in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Evenly distribute the shaved ham over each chicken breast. Pour and spread the prepared soup mixture evenly over the top of the chicken and ham layers.
  4. Add Cheese and Topping. Lay the provolone cheese slices evenly on top of the sauce layer. Finally, sprinkle the panko bread crumbs evenly over the cheese to create a crunchy topping.
  5. Bake. Place the casserole in the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F, and the top is golden and crisp.
  6. Serve. Remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy, and crispy chicken casserole as a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with homemade cream sauce for a fresher taste.
  • Use low-fat sour cream to reduce fat content if desired.
  • Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking; pound thinner if needed.
  • The panko crumbs can be replaced with crushed Ritz crackers for a different crunchy texture.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to avoid undercooked chicken.
