Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole brings all the elegance of the classic French dish into a warm, creamy, family-friendly bake. With tender chicken, savory ham, melted Swiss cheese, and a velvety sauce, this casserole delivers luxurious flavor without the fuss of rolling and breading individual portions. It’s a comforting, satisfying dish that transforms simple ingredients into something special.
The sauce is the heart of this recipe. A blend of cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, and Dijon mustard creates a silky coating that ties the chicken and ham together beautifully. Garlic and onion powder add aromatic depth, while the Swiss cheese melts into the sauce for that signature Cordon Bleu richness. Each bite offers a balance of creamy, savory, and subtly tangy flavors.
What truly sets this casserole apart is the buttery, golden topping. Crushed Ritz crackers or breadcrumbs bake into a crisp crust that contrasts perfectly with the rich interior. The topping browns beautifully in the oven, offering an irresistible crunch that completes the dish. Fresh chives add a bright, herbaceous note that keeps everything feeling vibrant and well-rounded.
