EASY 4-Ingredient Protein-Packed Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

I have always loved the taste of chicken cordon bleu since my mom made it for us on special occasions when I was a girl. But if there’s one thing else I remember about it, it seemed like an awful lot of work.

Sometime last year, it was dinner time and I had no dinner plans, and I looked in the fridge to realize I had all of the ingredients. So I mixed them up in a pan and threw it in the oven and it turned out amazing…AND was a huge hit with my husband {he’s hard to wow in the culinary department}. I made it again a few weeks ago and again, he raved about it and told me I needed to blog about it. So, here it is.

I’m going to leave the full recipe at the bottom, but here I’m going to walk you through the easy steps.

Cook boneless-skinless chicken breasts on your stovetop until just cooked and then cube or shred it.

Also cut up pre-cooked sliced ham. (I ended up using maybe 1/3 or less, which left plenty ham leftover for eggs, soups, and other meals).

Mix the ham, cooked chicken, and about 1/2 a can of parmesan cheese together in a bowl. Spread in a greased 9×13 pan.

Top with sliced swiss cheese:

Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and casserole is warmed through:
