Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Chicken cordon bleu is a delicious meal that incorporates chicken, ham, swiss cheese, and a bread crump topping. So, how do you make a chicken cordon bleu casserole in a crockpot?

Well it's actually quite simple! Now, the traditional chicken cordon bleu would mean rolling chicken, swiss cheese and ham up into a snug little roll. Then you would cover it in bread crumbs.

To make a casserole, you won't have to roll anything up. In fact, you can let your crockpot work for you!

Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole FAQ

What are the ingredients to chicken cordon bleu?

It's made up of chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and bread crumbs. When it's in casserole form, you don't have to roll them up so it's a lot easier when it's all in one pan or in this case slow cooker.

Can you use frozen chicken?

Yes! Often times we use boneless, skinless chicken breasts from the freezer aisle for this recipe because of time and how easy it is. Just make sure to cook for the full 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low. And as always, with chicken, check the temperature with your favorite meat thermometer.

Recipe Notes

Notes:

When using frozen chicken, I would reccommmend waiting until the 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low to ensure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Always double check with a meat thermometer, as it should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit when you test the chicken.
