Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cooked turkey or chicken slices, chopped
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, chopped turkey or chicken slices, shredded Swiss cheese, and Dijon mustard. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Add Soup and Season: Add the cream of chicken soup to the mixture, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the prepared chicken mixture into the greased baking dish. Evenly spread the breadcrumbs on top to create a crunchy topping once baked.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges, indicating it’s heated through.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly for a few minutes before serving to let it set and make it easier to portion. Enjoy your warm, creamy, and cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole!
Notes
- You can substitute turkey slices with ham for a more traditional Cordon Bleu flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, replace regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking enhances flavor and adds extra crispiness.
