Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cooked turkey or chicken slices, chopped
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Sauce and Topping
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, chopped turkey or chicken slices, shredded Swiss cheese, and Dijon mustard. Stir well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add Soup and Season: Add the cream of chicken soup to the chicken mixture and season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crispy crust once baked.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling along the edges, indicating it’s heated through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help set the casserole and enhance the flavors. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole!
Notes
- Use cooked chicken and turkey leftovers or freshly cooked meats for best flavor.

- Feel free to substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella if preferred.
- This casserole can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; increase baking time by 5-10 minutes if baked cold.
