Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

I just love Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole!!!  This recipe is a spinoff of traditional chicken cordon bleu.  But as a fun twist it’s all mixed together with pasta to make it a dish your family will love!!! A side salad and a slice of garlic toast rounds out this fun meal!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces mini farfalle or bowtie pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk or heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian blend
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped ham can substitute Canadian Bacon
  • 2 cups chopped precooked chicken

Topping

  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Cook pasta according to directions on the package. Drain the pasta when it’s finished cooking.
  • While the pasta is cooking, chop the chicken and ham, and prepare the sauce.
  • In a large saucepan melt 2 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted stir in the flour until it’s all well combined. Slowly add the milk or cream, whisking continuously. Continue to whisk over medium heat until the sauce gets bubbly and starts to thicken. Add in the cheeses, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted. Then stir in the chopped chicken and ham. Finally, stir in the drained pasta.
  • Place the mixture in a well-greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of it all. Melt 2 more tablespoons of butter and drizzle it all over the bread crumbs.
  • Bake the casserole for about 30 minutes until it’s bubbly and the breadcrumbs are starting to brown.
  • Cool slightly before serving.
