All the flavors of traditional and delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu but in casserole form. This easy dish is a family-favorite at dinner time!
I love making casseroles any time of the year. They’re typically easy, delicious and filled with ingredients I always have on hand. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole has become the latest family-favorite of ours!
Layers of chicken, ham, swiss cheese and a super simple sauce, this casserole comes together easily. You bake it to perfection then serve it over cooked egg noodles, rice or whatever your heart desires. 🙂
Get ready for everyone to ask for seconds with this one… Well, that’s what happened when I served it to my family. 😀 I’m definitely adding this to the monthly dinner rotation.

Sounds delish! Just checking though, the chicken that you are breading is raw, right? That makes the most sense but just thought I would ask. Definitely going to the store to pick up the ingredients for this this weekend! Thanks Holly!
Yes, the chicken is raw before you bake it 🙂
I actually used cooked chicken, and it worked well. Next time will try it with raw.
When using cooked chicken, what would the baking time change to?
This looks so creamy and cheesy! I must make this for an easy weeknight dinner.
Wonder how this would do as a dip rather than serving over noodles?
Looks creamy and fabulous! MMMMM!
could you use another type of cheese. My husband doesn’t like swiss. Thank you!
Yes! You could definitely try Mozzarella or Monterey Jack with great results! 🙂
Provolone would be really good!
What is the calorie on this
Will you post your recipe for homemade COC soup?! This recipe sounds yummy and always looking for an alternative for the can.
I’ve made this before and my daughter absolutely loved it and asked for it to be put into our normal rotation! I’m wondering if this is something that could be prepped beforehand and frozen?
Hello! This dish is amazing however I did everything as it says in the directions and I had to bake it longer than it states. Just wanted to share that, just double check. But perfect recipe, and in my household everyone got seconds as well! 🙂
Thank you!
I am so glad I found this recipe! I originally was going to make chicken cordon bleu roll ups, but was unsuccessful pounding out the chicken. I thought I would try to covert it to a casserole and this was perfect! Easy, yummy, will be making it again!
Was wondering if breading the chicken is necessary
I’m making this casserole this evening but was wondering…do you cut the ham up in bite size pieces? Because the only ham I have is sliced?
Your speedy answer is appreciated!
This is pretty. Only thing I will change is not coat the chicken. It doesn’t get crunchy it’s soggy. But I will next time put Pablo in butter and cover the top so you get a bit of a crunch. I will do this again.
It looks delicious! I would like your cream of chicken soup recipe. Please.
Well, I liked it but the husband wasn’t a fan. It was dry and he likes everything smothered in cream sauce or gravy. ugh But the flavor is spot on. I would double up on the cream of chicken and maybe add chicken broth. I think it would be perfect then.
Awesome recipe. Easy to make. Delicious flavor. Will definitely become a new family favorite.
I wasn’t able to find your RECIPE for the homemade cream of chicken soup, that you used in your CHICKEN cordon bleu casserole?
The recipe link to the cream of chicken soup is below the recipe card 🙂
This was SIMPLY amazing!! Made as writt and wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you for a great and easy recipe
if we use your recipe of coc soup do we use the entire batch for this recipe? or just 10 ounces plus 1 cup of milk?
If you use my homemade condensed soup you only need 10.75 ounces of it. You can measure it out in a liquid measuring cup. 🙂
You can store the leftover homemade condensed soup in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Winner, winner chicken dinner.
The only change I made was skipping the first step of breading the chicken chunks. I sprinkled the panko on top before baking.
We haven’t liked several of the new recipes I’ve tried lately, but this one will be on the regular rotation.
