Instructions
Making Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is a straightforward process if you follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced ham, and half of the Swiss cheese.
4. Make Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked noodles to the meat and cheese mixture. Pour the sauce over it and mix until everything is well-coated.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish evenly.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese over the top. In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and scatter the mixture over the cheese.
8. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
9. Cool Slightly: Allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving to help the layers set.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for an added touch of color and flavor.
With these steps, you’ll have a scrumptious Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole that will impress everyone at your dinner table.
