What I Love About Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole Recipe

I absolutely love that this can be prepped in 20 minutes and on the table in under an hour. This makes it an easy favorite on busy weeknights. You don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen to prepare a wholesome meal that tastes fantastic.

• Ready in under and hour
• Smoky cheesy deliciousness
• Super simple to make
• Great prep ahead meal
• Buttery crispy topping

Ingredient Notes

• Egg Noodles: I like to use egg noodles for this recipe, but other pastas will work too. You’ll want to cook the noodles to al dente since you’ll be putting them in the oven. They should still be a little firm in the middle. Of course, make sure they are to your liking.
• Add Salt: Add salt to your pasta water. I use about 1 tablespoon in 4 quarts of water. This will flavor your pasta from the inside out just infusing more incredible yum into your chicken cordon bleu casserole recipe. The pasta soaks up water as it cooks. If that water is salted, it will soak up that seasoning as well giving you a substantially tastier pasta.
• Topping: You can adjust the crispiness of the bread crumb topping by adjusting the amount of butter mixed with the bread crumbs. If you follow the recipe exactly, you will get a really crispy crust, but there’s wiggle room in either direction.
• Condensed Cream Of Chicken Soup
• Chicken
• Sour Cream
• Ham
• Swiss Cheese
• Panko Bread Crumbs
• Butter
• Thyme Leaves

Recipe Notes

• Noodles:  Egg noodles have plenty of valuable real estate to pick up all that smoky creamy sauce. Plus, they are full of protein and essential amino acids.
• Soup: Also, you’ll want to use undiluted cream of chicken soup for this recipe. It will soak up all the natural juices released from the chicken and cheese which will give your chicken cordon bleu casserole recipe a ton of flavor! Plus, the sour cream will thin it out just a little and give it that dreamy indulgent texture.
• Cheese: This recipe also calls for one cup of shredded Swiss cheese. Use freshly shredded cheese. It will make this dish much creamier. The stuff that comes pre-shredded in the bag often contains potato starch and powdered cellulose to prevent it from caking together.

Storing + Freezing 

• How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? This will last in the fridge for 3-4 days.
• Can You Freeze This? I don’t recommend freezing. The egg noodles get mushy.
