Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole Ingredients

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

• Cooked Chicken Breast: Ideal for using up leftover rotisserie chicken or any shredded chicken you have on hand. Makes the base layer of our casserole, bringing that classic chicken cordon bleu taste. 
• Cooked Ham: Leftover ham works perfectly here, adding a savory aspect that pairs wonderfully with the chicken. Deli ham is an easy substitute if that’s what you have available. 
• Swiss Cheese: For that melty, gooey component, nothing beats Swiss cheese. It’s a nod to the classic chicken cordon bleu and brings a lovely creaminess. 
• Cream of Chicken Soup & Milk: When mixed, these create the creamy sauce that envelops our casserole, ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful. For a lighter version, low-fat milk works well. Both can be found at your local grocery store.
• Sour Cream: Adds a tang and richness to the casserole, enhancing the creamy texture. A dollop of Greek yogurt could be used for a slightly healthier twist. 
• Dijon Mustard: This brings a bit of zing and depth to the creamy dijon sauce, tying all the flavors together beautifully. 
• Egg Noodles: These make up the hearty base of the casserole. For an alternative, any pasta can be used, making this recipe versatile. 
• Buttery Panko Breadcrumbs & Parmesan Cheese: Combined for the crispy topping, adding a delightful crunch and golden finish to contrast the creamy interior.

How to Store Leftovers

To store leftover Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

When you’re ready to enjoy it again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until it’s heated through.

You can also microwave individual servings for a quicker option, just be sure to cover it with a damp paper towel to keep it from drying out. Enjoy the comfort all over again!

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use something other than rotisserie chicken? Absolutely! While rotisserie chicken adds great flavor and is a quick option, you can use any leftover or pre-cooked chicken you have on hand. Even boiled or shredded chicken works wonderfully for this recipe. 
• Is there an alternative to cream of chicken soup for the creamy sauce? Yes, if you’re not a fan of cream of chicken soup or simply want to try something different, a homemade white sauce or a cream of mushroom soup can be great substitutes. They both contribute to the creamy texture that makes this casserole so comforting. 
• What if I don’t have Swiss cheese? No worries! While Swiss cheese gives this dish its classic chicken cordon bleu flavor, feel free to use mozzarella or provolone for a milder taste, or even a sharp cheddar for a bit more bite. The key is to use a cheese that melts well to give you that creamy, cheesy goodness. 
• How can I make the casserole more or less creamy? For a creamier casserole, consider adding more sour cream or even a splash of heavy cream to the mix. If you prefer it less creamy, reducing the milk volume and using less sour cream will give you a denser texture that still carries all the delicious flavors.
