This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole layers juicy chicken, savory ham, and melty cheese in a creamy, tangy sauce with a crunchy breadcrumb topping. It’s a comforting, crowd-pleasing dinner that’s easy to make and perfect for busy weeknights or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded (about 1 lb)
  • 1 1/2 cups deli ham, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, chopped ham, shredded Swiss cheese, and shredded mozzarella. Toss gently to mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Dijon mustard, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Pour the sauce over the chicken, ham, and cheese mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the filling to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  6. In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Stir in grated Parmesan if using.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the casserole.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly around the edges and the top is golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  9. Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before serving to help it set.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

For best results, shred your own cheese for a creamier sauce. If making ahead, add the breadcrumb topping just before baking. To make gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and check your soup and ham labels. Letting the casserole rest before serving helps it slice cleanly. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
