Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole (2024)

Wow, what a fun idea, I’m going to have to try this!

NaDellApril 9, 2011, 9:42 am

I just opened this up last night and left it open so I can print it out (that way I won’t forget that I want to make it) and showed my husband each layer. He was saying “Oh yeah!” like the kool-aid man through the pictures. I think this one will be a big hit at our house like your pizza spaghetti.
Thanks!!!

YUMMO!!! I cannot wait to try this one. Although, I don’t really like rice. Could I just not add it, would that alter the taste do you think??

MarleneApril 9, 2011, 12:54 pm

Oh my! This looks really yummy! I’m thinking this will be on the menu for us this week!

IleneApril 9, 2011, 7:48 pm

I love Chicken Cordon Bleu but hate the prep work this is a fantastic alternative. Thanks

LindaPApril 9, 2011, 8:00 pm

Oh Yummy!!! This looks sooo good but i have one question… Can you use instant rice or is the regular type.. Thanks for sharing !!

LisaApril 9, 2011, 8:56 pm

This is JUST the sort of recipe I was craving and didn’t know lol. I’m leaving this page up and making it TOMORROW. 😀 Thank you!

LisaApril 10, 2011, 5:14 pm

Ok! We just had this for dinner tonight. Thank you! Our whole family enjoyed it. What a fun idea.

TamiApril 18, 2011, 6:06 am

AndreaApril 23, 2011, 9:12 am

You just solved the dinner dilemma for tonight, this looks yummy!

JennMay 8, 2011, 5:13 pm

Okay…this was really good. I made some slight modifications (ie. brown rice, greek yogurt, fat free soup, etc.) Definitely going in the rotation. Thanks so much!

Leslie M.October 13, 2011, 8:02 pm

I made this for dinner tonight and everyone (all six of us!) loved it!! Thank you for the easy and delicious recipe!

breannaOctober 14, 2011, 9:41 pm

this recipe is an absolute win!! i’ve shared it

Heather ProughNovember 2, 2011, 5:29 pm

Very good! I even cut recipe in 1/2 and used 1 can soup, 1/4 sour cream and 1/4 milk. Also used 1 large can of canned chicken to make it quickly and it was fine! Also used sliced provolone instead of Swiss. Was great!

CoriNovember 5, 2011, 9:28 am

Making this for dinner tonight! Thank you!

ErinNovember 7, 2011, 5:36 pm

Just made this for dinner tonight! Used a ham steak because that’s all I had. Everything else followed the recipe to a t! This was amazing!!!!

Jill LeopardNovember 16, 2011, 2:26 pm

I made this tonight and used pasta instead of rice and I tossed the chicken with 2tbsp Dijon mustard. It is in the oven now! Smells awesome!

Angela OwenNovember 21, 2011, 4:50 pm

Making it now! Cannot wait to try it!

LauraDecember 6, 2011, 8:08 pm

Enjoyed making this tonight. But next time I make this I am going to mix the chicken, rice and soup mix up together so the flavors will flow into each other better. But it was very tasty:)

I am thinking no rice and corn flake crumbs instead!

JordanJanuary 8, 2012, 1:35 pm

This is in the oven right now! Only, because my husband doesn’t care for rice, I substituted hash browns! Hopefully, both being starch, it will work out!

CherylJanuary 8, 2012, 3:04 pm

I’d like to make this gluten free, but I’m wondering how much it would effect the taste of the dish if I omitted the crackers at the end? Could some dry bread crumbs (gluten free) be substituted for them possibly?

WhitneyJanuary 9, 2012, 6:16 pm

I am so glad that you posted this recipe! I made the exact same thing a long time ago and then I lost the recipe! I’ve been looking for it ever since so THANKS!!!

MorganJanuary 9, 2012, 7:33 pm

I made this for dinner tonight and it was awesome! Thank you for sharing.

I love you! Seriously, turning my favorite food into a casserole, pure genius!! It’s going on the menu this week!

StormyJanuary 19, 2012, 8:18 am

Seriously? One of my all time favorite things to eat! I am so excited to try this!!!

SarahJanuary 19, 2012, 1:47 pm

Could this be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer?

MarieJanuary 27, 2012, 7:32 am

How many people does this recipe feed? I am making it this weekend for 6-7 people.

SheriJanuary 30, 2012, 5:06 pm

I have made this twice now and it was a HUGE hit both times! I did however make a couple tweaks – due to items on hand. I substituted turkey for chicken and leftover mashed potatoes for the rice. My family LOVED it!! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

DebbieFebruary 8, 2012, 11:16 am

My daughter made this and raved about it. Convinced me I just HAD to make it, so it’s now on my meal plan for the upcoming week. Can’t wait!

CarrieFebruary 9, 2012, 7:25 am

Omg I am so happy I stumbled across this receipe. I’m not the best cook… I’m own for burning water but, this step by step picture receipe made it real easy for me to follow. My family LOVED this receipe…. there was none left over! Thanks you for sharing your receipe 🙂

DarleneFebruary 22, 2012, 7:25 am

I made this on Monday night and it was a huge hit! I did sprinkle some paprika, salt, and pepper on the chicken before cooking and then added extra to the crackers. This was awesome!!!!

HeatherFebruary 27, 2012, 8:02 pm

I made this tonight and it was amazing!! I used club crackers instead of saltines and it was perefect!! Thank you for this recipe.

TameraFebruary 27, 2012, 9:24 pm

I just made this for dinner. Thank you for sharing a great recipe. So much easier than traditional CCB. You have fans in North Pole, Alaska.

DebMarch 25, 2012, 5:58 pm

I am making this tomorrow nite. I”m not sure about the crackers, chicken cordon bleu doesn’t have a cracker to it. I’ll make it and post how well it turned out. Using everything else but the cracker on top unless I get a message from someone that thinks this is a mistake to leave off. Thanks

KellieApril 23, 2012, 1:37 pm

I can’t eat rice so I will substitute the rice with potatoes. Sounds yummy. I pinned the recipe to Pinterest.

KimApril 24, 2012, 7:13 pm

I tried this tonight but halved it and it was wonderful. My 3 year old loved crunching up the crackers. Thanks for the inspiration!

NarissaMay 10, 2012, 3:33 pm

I am a huge casserole fan, so when I found this on Pinterest I had to try it! AMAZING! Add this to my list of favorite casseroles!! The only thing I tweaked: I doubled the dry mix recipe part. MM MM MM Thanks for the step by step pictures btw, it was a nice touch 🙂

LindseyMay 10, 2012, 4:49 pm

Is this rice pre-cooked?

LaurenMay 18, 2012, 5:34 am

I was trying to find something new for our church luncheon next week. I think we have a winner. I’ll most likely trade the rice for egg noodles (my kids don’t like rice). Can’t wait for the reactions- my hubby loves CCB but I’m lazy in the kitchen and never make it…hopefully this will do the trick! Thanks!!

CBMay 28, 2012, 7:12 pm

Made this for dinner tonight, subbing provolone and panko bread crumbs (because that’s what I had on hand) and it was fantastic! It got rave reviews from the hubby (not an easy feat when trying a new recipe). He went back for seconds and already packed some for lunch tomorrow. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for the recipe!

wendyMay 31, 2012, 12:37 pm

Is that boiled chicken breast?

SylviaJune 13, 2012, 3:55 pm

Mine is in the oven right now. I hope it comes out good as it looks =)

EricaJune 19, 2012, 3:11 pm

HopeJune 23, 2012, 1:21 pm

I AM MAKING THIS AS WE SPEAK. I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT MY PICKER EATERS WILL SAY! THEY THEY LOVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS SO WE WILL SEE.. THANK YOU FOR THE POST!

This looks awesome! I love Chicken Cordon Bleu so I’m sure I’ll enjoy this as well. Can’t wait to try it.

ValerieJuly 2, 2012, 11:40 pm

This sounds absolutely delicious and I’m making it tomorrow! May I suggest adding a print recipe button to your blog? 🙂

SusanJuly 11, 2012, 11:45 am

I am making this also right now, it is ready to go in to the oven, I love Chicken Cordon Blue,So I hope every one likes it.. wish I would have thought about chopping up some broccoli and put in,

MelissaJuly 11, 2012, 1:08 pm

is there a way to use uncooked rice, and uncooked chicken and it turn out the same?

LillyJuly 23, 2012, 3:38 pm

I just made this and am getting ready to eat it. I will let u know how it is…

LillyJuly 23, 2012, 4:04 pm

OMG…this is fabulous!!! Tastes wonderful!!!

Made this for my “men” (hubby and 4 grown sons) last evening. It was a huge hit! Hubby is not a rice eater, so I substituted wide egg noodles for the rice. I also served extra noodles in the cream of chix soup on the side. Oh, and I sprinkled a little bit of taco blend cheese throughout as well. This is definitely a keeper recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it!

LoriAugust 5, 2012, 10:12 am

I have made one similar and instead of the bread crumb mixture, we use salad croutons ie garlic and cheese and it is a favorite to all who try it.

TammyAugust 13, 2012, 3:03 pm

Awesome recipe! Its on the grill, cookin at camp!

NancyAugust 15, 2012, 2:09 pm

OMG this is a hit in my house. I have made it about 4 times in the last 4 weeks. This is a Keeper.Thanks for sharing

LisaAugust 20, 2012, 5:29 pm

Sounds great, I can’t wait to try this!!!

KristenAugust 21, 2012, 7:50 pm

DianneAugust 26, 2012, 4:30 pm

I am making this tonight. I always use cream of mushroom soup in things, so when I sent hubby to the store it was automatic that I wrote two of those, so I went ahead and used that and it is in the oven now. Smells good!

BeccaAugust 31, 2012, 5:13 pm

I just finished eating this! What a great dinner! My kids even enj0yed it. It has made it t0 the dinner rotation!!!

KarlaMarieSeptember 1, 2012, 10:18 pm

BSeptember 7, 2012, 5:21 pm

I used an already cooked roasted chicken from the grocery store. I also diubled the topping with the crackers, garlic salt and paprika. It was fantastic!!

JaniceSeptember 11, 2012, 1:46 pm

I have a question …..is the rice precooked?

NicoleSeptember 17, 2012, 6:24 pm

I’m just about to put this in the oven. Can’t wait to try it out because I do have picky eaters at my table. Smells delicious can’t wait to try it out. 🙂

KristinSeptember 19, 2012, 6:25 pm

This is in my oven as I type this!!! I used brown rice and provolone. Mmmm can’t wait to dig in! Thank you for this recipe :):):)

CarlaSeptember 24, 2012, 3:35 pm

Could this be frozen?

Malis SeidaSeptember 27, 2012, 2:12 am

Modifications: 1. used a mixture of brown/wild rice 2. after frying chicken pieces deglazed pan with dry white wine(about a 1/4 c) and reduced it to half, then adding it to the soup mixture 3. topped it with sundried tomatoe dried baguette crisps (chopped up) Followed rest of recipe as outlined. Dee-lish!!! It’s a keeper!

MistySeptember 28, 2012, 3:08 pm

I made this last night and it was very easy and the kids loved it!

Kelly primaveraOctober 19, 2012, 1:13 pm

Made this for dinner tonight, it was easy and every one loved it…. No leftovers..

MariaOctober 21, 2012, 4:55 pm

Just ate this for dinner, I got five thumbs up. It’s delicious!!

MicheleOctober 23, 2012, 5:17 pm

Add 1/2 tablespoon of spicy mustard to the sauce. It takes this dish over the top!
Found this on pinterest, and we loved it.

RoseOctober 23, 2012, 8:23 pm

Just ate this for dinner! Husband loved it and he says he doesn’t like chicken!!
Will make this for the grandkids next week! Yummy!!

Ms-EllieOctober 28, 2012, 10:43 am

Wow! I found this great recipe via Pinterest. I made a couple of very simple modifications: added about 3/4 cup more rice, diced up a store-bought small ham steak (from the lunch meat/sausage section) instead of using sliced ham, and used Ritz instead of saltines. DEFINITELY a keeper! MANY thanks for sharing!

MarciOctober 30, 2012, 5:38 pm

I made this the first time as the recipe asked. tonight i used cheezits duos cheddar parmesan instead of the saltines mixture. i will let you know how it turned out 🙂

LeAnneNovember 2, 2012, 11:31 pm

ShannonNovember 8, 2012, 6:53 pm

My family LOVES chicken cordon bleu, but to feed all of us it can get quiet spendy! I have this casserole in the oven RIGHT NOW! 🙂 Cant wait to taste it, it already smells yummO! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

RitaNovember 10, 2012, 4:28 pm

This really was Superrrr!!! WoW! Everybody LOVES it! This was much easier and less time consuming then the traditional cordon bleu rolled up! I used Ritz instead of saltines., Just awesome. Thanks for sharing!!! This is definitely one that we will rotate into our regular family meals!! Thanks!!!!

StacyNovember 13, 2012, 8:03 pm

I just put this in the oven and it smells delish also I added mushrooms, so we will see 🙂

PamDecember 3, 2012, 5:01 pm

This has become one of our favorites. Thanks for posting it.

Mrs PDecember 9, 2012, 1:30 pm

YUMMY! Super easy to adapt to whatever you have on hand – I used pepper jack cheese, a 6oz pkg of Canadian bacon (probably wouldn’t have needed the whole package) and cream of celery soup. While that may not be “true” CCB, it worked out great!

NicoleDecember 11, 2012, 4:28 pm

Just made this for dinner tonight. Absolutly amazing!!! I added a little Dijon mustard to the sauce.

Gma CindieDecember 13, 2012, 8:02 am

Made a variation of this and received rave reviews. Though the recipe would no doubt be great the way it’s printed, I did the following:
Subbed brown rice for white
Used 1 can cream of chicken and 1 cup of sour cream
Used cubed leftover ham, rather than deli slices
Crushed 6 oz pkg of salad croutons (Cheese & Garlic) instead of saltine crackers for topping
YUM!

Mary WindDecember 13, 2012, 2:45 pm

My daughter made this for her family and gave me the leftovers. Absolutely yummy!

Sounds yummy… can it be frozen before baking and how would that affect cook time?

WendyDecember 23, 2012, 4:36 am

We used cubed leftover ham and substituted fat free chicken gravy as we didn’t ‘t have two soups on hand Found this to to be real tasty nd less calories. Also omitted the sour cream and added a small amount of water to loosen up the soup and gravy. Enjoyed!

AmandaDecember 31, 2012, 2:06 pm

I really like how you posted step by step pictures. I hate second guessing myself when trying a new recipe. Excellent recipe!! Delicious 🙂

Pure HappinessJanuary 19, 2013, 6:02 pm

This was delicious. I actually used greek yogurt for the sour cream and used unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of regular milk. My whole family (even my extremely picky 3 year old) loved it!

Lori MackeyJanuary 20, 2013, 9:58 pm

Hi, I noticed your plate in the last photo. My mom has these same dishes! Do you know if you can still find these anywhere and what the pattern was called. I think mom said she got them through a gas station years ago. She doesn’t remember the name of the pattern though. If I had that info I could do a google. Thanks! And I am going to try this recipe! ~Lori

JennJanuary 28, 2013, 9:28 am

This sounds fabulous! I usually go thru the whole wrapping it into rollups and its so time consuming. Definitely doing it like this next time. I’m assuming I can do this in the crockpot as well? Starting with raw chicken and uncooked rice.

CaraJanuary 28, 2013, 11:18 pm

LOVE this! Thank you so much for the recipe. It was a huge hit with my family!

JaclynJanuary 29, 2013, 5:40 pm

This was very good! Will be putting it in a regular rotation of dinner ideas 🙂

SusieJanuary 31, 2013, 4:57 pm

I would love to have this recipe in a format that I can print and add to my recipe book. Does anyone have it?

ElizabethFebruary 6, 2013, 9:57 pm

Is this a gluten free recipe if I don’t use the crackers on top?

Jan JoyalFebruary 15, 2013, 1:47 pm

Sounds awesome, have written out the recipe – can’t wait to try it

MichelleFebruary 20, 2013, 12:01 pm

Picky family of five:) Was wondering if the rice could be subsituted for has browns or something else? Looks so good! But, four out five do not like rice…bet you can imagine who the one is that likes it, ME;)

MichelleFebruary 20, 2013, 12:02 pm

sorry Hash* browns;)

ConnieMarch 6, 2013, 3:47 pm

I love this meal. So does the hubs & my 5 & 2 year old. I use yellow rice instead of white due to my husbands taste. It’s in the oven as we speak. This recipe has made it into the rotation. Yummy!!!!

JessieMarch 10, 2013, 1:18 pm

Sounds amazing! Definitely trying this one for my family of chicken cordon blue lovers 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!

It would be gluten free if you use a gluten free cream soup and make sure the ham is gluten free. You can also use gluten free crackers or a crunchy substitute for the crackers.

I don’t really know anything about the plate. I found it in a thrift store and loved it. They only had 2 so I bought them both.

YvonneApril 9, 2013, 10:09 am

It was my turn to cook last night and I pulled out this recipe. Delicious!!!! It was well received. This is definitely a new family favorite. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

JudiApril 17, 2013, 2:47 am

Thank you so much for this one! I make this at least twice a month. My husband and I really love the taste of all the flavors in this dish, I use Ritz crackers instead of the saltines. This is absolutely awesome!!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!!

LisaJune 5, 2013, 1:45 pm

Trying this tonight, but using a honey-mustard glaze when baking the chicken, Uncle Ben’s wild rice and topping the casserole with Stove Top stuffing and panko mixture (no white rice or crackers here, but this just sounds too good!). We’ll see!

JanetSeptember 15, 2013, 5:29 pm

This has become a family favorite. I made it first for a Pinterest Party and now it is a staple in our house 🙂

Denise van GorkomSeptember 16, 2013, 3:06 pm

Is the 2 cups of rice measured before cooking or after?

Paula CreteSeptember 23, 2013, 5:55 pm

Oh my this was delish, we like brown rice but didnt have time to make it so chanced using Minute Brown Rice and it was great, I only had provolone cheese and diced ham so used it and also no crackers so used panko, didnt mean to alter your recipe but did with what. I had and i will def. Make this again!!! Thanks,

Patty TOctober 12, 2013, 7:00 pm

Made tis for my family tonight. They ABSOLUTELY Loved it!!!! VERY VERY GOOD!!!

AshleyOctober 16, 2013, 12:40 pm

I added a tablespoon of dijon mustard the soup mix and doubled the rice on the bottom, then topped it with italian panko crumbs with the garlic and peprika… it was delish! served with biscuits

leannejaDecember 4, 2013, 2:21 am

Before cooking!

JanetJanuary 29, 2014, 10:49 pm

This has become a favorite that I make again and again. My husband is the cook in the family, but he loves when I make this too!

RuthMay 8, 2014, 2:49 pm

I made this for our family and NOTHING was left! Serving it again tonight!

RobinAugust 8, 2014, 8:34 am

I thought it sounded good so I tried it. Instead I put stuffing on the bottom rather then rice and Panko breadcrumbs with the spices added. It was delicious . This is definetely a keeper.

DarleneDecember 6, 2014, 6:51 am

This is the BEST, everyone raves about it, I double it up for parties, everyone asks for it now

DebbieJuly 1, 2015, 12:30 pm

I make this for my family and they love it! I use the same ingredients as you with the exception that I use shredded Swiss cheese and I mix everything up rather than layering everything and I use crushed Ritz crackers mixed in melted butter on top.

KatieSeptember 18, 2015, 8:03 am

I made this last night, and it was a huge hit with my family of four. I used rotisserie chicken. We had barely any leftovers. This would be a wonderful dish to make around the holidays or for a potluck. Definitely adding into the rotation!

Mandy ChristolOctober 11, 2015, 3:35 pm

Finally making this after it has been pinned for about 2 years. In the oven now – can’t wait to try it.

SoozytJanuary 3, 2016, 2:16 pm

Made this low carb today by subbing cauliflower for the rice & French fried onions for the crackers. It was a hit!

BeckyJanuary 4, 2016, 7:21 pm

Yum!!!!! I made this tonight with our leftover Christmas ham. I did sub the rice with egg noodles, just because of time constraints. It was easy and delicious. My family scarfed it down fast!

Cat W.January 17, 2016, 7:58 pm

Made this because my friends had been raving about it. I didn’t have any parsley, and I made 1 can of the soup from scratch out of the 2 (hey, use what you have on hand). It was great! My husband really liked it, and best of all, my picky 4yo daughter ate all of her plate! This one will get added to the rotation!

TammySeptember 28, 2016, 10:58 am

I’ve made this exact recipe and my family loves it!!!! The only things do differently, is crushed on flake son top instead of saltines! It also freezes very well 🙂

DaniOctober 25, 2016, 2:07 pm

I have made this a few times. It is a hit in my house. And I normally HATE cream of chicken soup or things cooked with it. My kids actually asked me to make it tonight.

This has become such a favorite in my home, THANKS so much for sharing it with all of us.

BrandyAugust 16, 2019, 4:11 pm

My family loves this so much it has become a regular meal

Made it and my family absolutely loves this!

CrissyFebruary 2, 2020, 10:23 pm

This looks so good, and better than good, EASY.

MonicaFebruary 3, 2020, 9:02 am

I made this and I’m embarrassed to say we loved it so much three of us ate almost the entire pan at one meal! I’m going to make it for a work pot luck and I know I’ll be getting requests for the recipe.

Brandy sApril 1, 2020, 5:09 pm

My family loves this so much, it is in our bi weekly schedule except I mix the soup, chicken, milk, and rice together then add cheese ham and topping my family cant get enough thank you

TeresaJuly 21, 2020, 5:20 am

We really enjoyed this casserole. Hubby suggested I use your sauce recipe on Eggs Benedict since he doesn’t like Hollandaise. Thanks for sharing it.

Love it, easy to make. I have it baking next step eat up.

BettyApril 19, 2021, 11:10 am

This is my sons favorite. I do tweak the recipe a bit. I add Dijon mustard to the soup mix. I eliminate the bread crumbs and replace them with the fried onions. 😋😋

Jerrie WilliamsOctober 5, 2021, 8:51 am

It freezes perfect. So yummy

LisaOctober 19, 2022, 12:02 pm

Mine us currently cooking in the oven

JackieOctober 28, 2023, 1:45 pm

My family loves this i can’t make it enough lol. You’re pickest eaters will eat this. I have to make 2 because our picky eater eats half of one himself. I make this for potlucks and i never bring any home. This turns into a staple quick. Love this recipe the best ever.

KatieNovember 10, 2023, 2:38 am

Made this for dinner tonight and img it was so yummy. Ŵe will be putting this into the rotation. Of dinners definitely one I’m going to tell the family and friends to try.

Kathy MyersDecember 27, 2023, 3:24 pm

Leftover Christmas ham…using instead of deli ham…in the oven now…can’t wait to chow down!

Shirley KFebruary 26, 2024, 3:10 pm

The absolute best go to casserole I’ve ever made. Added to our dinner cycle a year ago. I use the leftover rotisserie chicken picked up at Sam’s club the day before. Just can’t beat this casserole. Try it!! You won’t be sorry.
