How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta
- Add the main ingredients to the slow cooker and let everything cook low and slow.
- Once tender, break up the chicken and mix in the cooked pasta and cheese.
- Finish with a cheesy topping and a little extra cook time to bring it all together.
Cook’s Notes & Variations
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Gruyere, mozzarella, or cheddar for a unique twist.
- Cubed ham works best in this recipe, but chopped deli ham or spiral ham are great alternatives too.
- Swap in other types of pasta, such as rotini, penne, or cavatappi, to suit your preference.
- For a lighter version, try using reduced-fat cream cheese without sacrificing the creamy texture.
- You can also add vegetables like peas, green beans, mushrooms, or broccoli to make the dish more hearty and nutritious.
- Do not add the pasta dry to the slow cooker, it must be cooked first. The slow cooker doesn’t get hot enough to cook it properly.

Incredibly yummy! The first meal we’ve tried from this website, and we’re already making it a second time!
That is so great to hear!!
Can you cook this dish on high?
Yes, I would cook 3.5 – 4 hours on high.
This recipe was great! The next time I make it, I will use less chicken so there will be more sauce for the pasta. Thank you!
If adding veggies, when would they go in? During the last hour, or…?
I would add anything like mushrooms, green beans or carrots at the beginning. And broccoli the last hour.
