Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole – Easy Chicken Casserole Recipes for Weeknights

Some nights, all I want is something cheesy, creamy, and comforting—without spending an hour over the stove. That's where this Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole steps in. It’s got that nostalgic vibe of the classic dish, but made way easier. We're skipping the whole rolling and breading process, and diving straight into layers of shredded chicken, smoky ham, melty Swiss, and a dreamy Dijon-cream sauce. I first made this when I had leftover rotisserie chicken in the fridge and not a single clue what to do with it. It was one of those fridge-clearing adventures that magically turned out great (honestly, don't you love when that happens?). I tossed everything into a casserole dish, crossed my fingers, and thirty minutes later—boom, dinner was done and the plates were clean. Whether you're cooking for the family or meal-prepping for the week, this casserole hits the sweet spot of low effort and high reward. No rolling, no fuss—just good, honest food that’ll make your kitchen smell like a hug.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 1½ cups chopped cooked ham
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1½ cups crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and pepper.
  3. Add the shredded chicken and ham to the bowl. Stir to coat everything in that creamy goodness.
  4. Transfer the mixture into your prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the top. Be generous—this is the cheesy crown.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle this over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until bubbling and golden on top.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you’re feeling fancy.
