How To Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Kathy’s Southern Kitchen
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
1 Package of Chicken Tenderloins (8-10 Uncooked)
1 Cup of Diced Ham
4 Tbsp of Butter
1 ½ Tbsp of All Purpose Flour
2 Cups of Milk
2 Tbsp of Dijon Mustard
1 8oz Package of Swiss Cheese (Shredded)
1 Cup of Panko Bread Crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste.
Layer chicken tenderloin pieces on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Salt and pepper chicken to taste. Sprinkle ham over the chicken. Place in 350 degree preheated oven while making cheese sauce.
In medium size saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of the melted butter to the bread crumbs and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Stir butter into breadcrumbs and set aside. Add flour to remaining butter and whisk until lightly brown and thickened. Slowly add milk whisking the entire time. Cook until thickened and add mustard and cheese. Stir until cheese has completely melted.
Remove chicken and ham from the oven and pour the cheese sauce over the top and create an even layer. Top with bread crumbs. Place back in the oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Remove from oven and allow the casserole to sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

[@jeannemcmillintwinlakeses3767]

Just what I was looking for. Most of the casserole recipes call for cooked chicken and pasta. Didn't want that, will be making it this week.

I've looked at several recipes, but I keep going back to yours❤❤❤ I see a lot served with egg noodles, but I don't have any. What sides would you suggest?

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

Thank you! You can serve it over rice if you like or with a simple salad. We like it all by itself. It’s so good. Very hearty. Thanks for watching ❤️

[@Jeff-mb8ue]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for not using packaged shredded cheese. It is so inferior to cheese you grate yourself. Besides, it only takes a few moments to gate the amount of cheese needed for this dish. Your recipe is excellent as is, but I would probably add some chopped parsley and chives to the cheese sauce and/or the breadcrumb topping.

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

Yum! Excellent tip ❤️

I made this last night and the sauce was very runny and there was not much flavor. I must have done something wrong. I will try again.

[@kathylang2125]

I made it too & my friend made it & we both had the same problem. I’m thinking if I try it again I won’t use 2 cups of milk. I’ll do 1 cups milk & 1 cup heavy cream, or all heavy cream. I’ve never made a bechamel sauce with that much milk

[@crissieburdette4654]

Is it just me, or has anyone ever said you look like a younger version of Jessica Lange? I cannot wait to try this recipe. I have everything except the mustard. 😅

[@kathyssouthernkitchen302]

I've definitely been told that before. Jessica Lang, ZaZa, Barbara Eden.....even Olivia Newton John🤣
