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

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.
