Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
A few weeks ago I made some lemon basil chicken. I made quite a bit since I was making it for a group of people to come over. Since I had the chicken grilled up I made up the PW’s grilled chicken with lemon basil pasta for the kids. Since the hubby was out of town no one would complain about having chicken. But, then I had a whole bunch of pasta left over and still piles of chicken. I had to plot how to convince eating chicken for supper would be okay. After a quick once-over of the meat and cheese drawer, I figured out a little Swiss cheese and some ham might be the trick. So, I bring you chicken cordon bleu casserole with a lemony twist.
I must admit, after seeing the chicken cordon bleu lasagna from My Kitchen Apron, I think I will try her recipe as well. It looks awesome!
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole Ingredients
For my chicken casserole, I used a lot of leftovers but this can completely be made with non-leftovers as well.
- Cooked Chicken: You can use leftover lemon basil chicken or even rotisserie chicken in this recipe. Just cooked diced chicken for the base of the recipe.
- Cubed ham: This can be bought already cubed or buy a large whole piece and cube it.
- Swiss Cheese: Shredded Swiss cheese. If you can’t find already shredded, just buy a block and shredded it at home.
- Pasta: Penne, ziti, or rigatoni is what I recommend but don’t be afraid to use elbow macaroni or bowtie pasta either.
- Cream of chicken soup: One can is all you need, low sodium or regular, use what you got.
- Milk: Whole, skim, or something in between. In a pinch, evaporated milk will work too.
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning: I have used Lawry’s Lemon Pepper. Both are great.
- Breadcrumbs: I always have a can of breadcrumbs on hand
- Butter: The real seal deal. Cream and salt stick of butter.
How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole with Leftover Chicken and Ham
Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Also, feel free to use leftover pasta. Just know you will need at least 12 ounces if not a whole pound of pasta. Cook the pasta to al dente. Add the cheese and 1 cup of milk to the pasta and combine.
For extra creaminess, I added a can of cream of chicken soup and then added the cut-up chicken and a cup of cubed ham.
Pour into a 13 x 9 pan.
Since mine had a lemon base to the chicken and pasta, I sprinkled the top of the pasta with lemon pepper.
I melted 2 tablespoons of butter and mixed in 1 cup of breadcrumbs. I poured over top of the casserole.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until bubbly.
The casserole was fantastic. The kids loved it and the hubby even ate leftovers:) Double win!

I can’t hear anhintyg over the sound of how awesome this article is.
certainly like your web-site but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I
to find it very bothersome to tell the reality then again I’ll surely come back
again.
I think that what you said was very logical. However, think on this, what if you were to create a
killer post title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to
run your blog, however suppose you added something to maybe get people’s attention? I mean Hunk of Meat Monday:
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole – Beyer Beware is kinda vanilla.
You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create
news headlines to grab people interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two to
grab people interested about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could make
your posts a little livelier.
Also I forgot to mention this, but I love the multi-media: the artwork and especially the links to photos and songs. Really helps set the scene and I found some great new music!
Well, I always thought that B.A. stood for bionic armadillo… learn sumpin’ new every day.It sounds like great times over there. So glad! I’m looking forward to the video
