Different Chicken Cordon Bleu

This was delicious! The sauce really helps elevate the flavors of the ham and chicken.what would I change? Less salt or no added salt. The soup is very salty as well as the cheese and ham. I’d loosen up the sauce with maybe chicken broth, milk or water. I threw in a can of corn with the sauce which added a little snap.

I'm not a fan of stuffing, but had some boxes to use up. My children and I all loved this!

This was a popular dish in my house, and so much easier to make than traditional cordon bleu. I cut the recipe in half and used chicken broth instead of the wine. Other than that, I followed the recipe. My kids especially enjoyed the stuffing topping.

The only change I made was to not add the stuffing mix as I didn't have any. I read reviews were others used bread crumbs but I really didn't think I would care for that. And, this also took about 1 hour to bake. The cheese completely melted off so after I took it out of the oven I added another slice of swiss. The sauce was very tasty. The first night we had mashed potatoes and the second night I made rice. The sauce was wonderful on both. The chicken was also good.

I found this when I plugged in what I had on hand and was just pleased. We all love Cordon Bleu around here. I found some packaged, precooked chicken breast at Grocery Outlet a couple months back and stuck it in the freezer, for just in case. I used that here, with turkey ham I had leftover from another recipe. Instead of using whole breast and a ham piece layered on top, I spread the pieces on the bottom of my casserole dish, first the cooked chicken and then the cubed ham. Then I added the swiss, which I shredded, and then the soup layer. A little different than how the recipe dictates but the ingredients are all there! I did omit the salt, as cream-of soups do tend to be salty on their own. I'll update on how the family liked it after dinner. I will say that this came together quickly during the kids' Quiet Time. I threw the casserole together, covered it and put it in the fridge. UPDATE: My husband liked this, my kids did not. I tried a little taste and agreed with my husband that it was a little too salty. If I were to make this again, I'd make my own topping out of homemade croutons.
