Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

This past weekend we had stopped at BJs and the boneless skinless chicken was $1.89 a pound.  Now to find something to make with it since the package was pretty big.

Found a recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu but I didn't have the time for that so I adapted it for a 9x13 pan and only an hour of time.

The original recipe was on allrecipes.com.  The link is here.

Ingredients:

• 4-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Deli ham slices
• Swiss cheese slices
• 1 can of cream of chicken
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 package of Stove Top chicken stuffing
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup of butter (melted)

Directions:

Take the chicken and cut off the fat and chop into cubes. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9x13 pan.

Place the chicken on the bottom of the pan.

Mix the milk and soup in a bowl and pour evenly over the chicken.  Layer the ham.  Then the swiss cheese.

Sprinkle the stuffing on top and drizzle the melted butter.  I added a few chunks of butter for good measure.

Cover and bake for 50 mins.  At this point it looked about done but the stuffing on top was hard in spots because there wasn't enough moisture. 

So I sprinkled the mozzarella cheese on top and baked another 5-10 minuutes. 

 

Still seemed hard so I drizzled a tiny bit of water on it.  That seemed to do the trick.  I cut into chunks and served.
