Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

I really love chicken cordon bleu.  However, I do not love making it.  It's definitly one of those things that I only order in a restaurant.  I don't have the patience to roll it ever so gently and hold it together, and god forbid I use toothpicks to hold it together and forget to tell everyone (okay maybe this has only happened once).  Anyway, I started a search for chicken cordon bleu casserole and after viewing several websites I realized the recipes varied so dramatically.  It seems everyone has that special way of doing this, so I took all the best parts and put them together with a spin of my own as well.  I still had to make this so the kids would eat it so here it goes:

2 cups rice

to with precooked chicken

top with swiss cheese

top with diced cooked ham

top with toasted seasoned breadcrumbs and parsley



Ingredients:

2 cups cooked rice
1 package of perdue shortcuts chicken (chopped)
6 slices swiss cheese
1 large ham steak
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/2 C milk
1/2 C sour cream
1/2 C toasted breadcrumbs  (Melt 2 T butter in small skillet, add breadcrumbs to coat, season with salt, pepper and parsley cook on medium low until nice and brown)

Recipe:

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350
  • Place cooked rice in bottom of a 9x13
  • Place chicken over rice
  • layer the cheese over the chicken
  • place the ham over the cheese
  • mix together the cans of soup, milk and sour cream and spread on top of ham
  • top with toasted breadcrumbs
  • optional:  sprinkle paprinka for color on top
  • Bake 30 minutes
