One of my childhood favorites made easily in the slow cooker. This Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is so simple to make!
Did you grow up on frozen chicken cordon blue chicken breasts? I haven’t bought them in ages, but I remember how much I loved the flavor combination. I’ve made homemade oven chicken cordon bleu breasts, but they are very time-consuming.
This Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole can be loaded up in the slow cooker within 2 shakes of a lamb’s tail. This is a layered dish and only needs 5 hours on low in the crockpot. I use cornbread stuffing mix for this recipe, the chicken would work fine instead.
How to make Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole:
Start with boneless skinless chicken breasts.
Sliced ham.
Sliced Swiss cheese.
Cream of chicken soup (mixed with milk, oregano, pepper, and garlic powder.)
Cornbread stuffing mix and melted butter.
Cook on low for 5 hours:
This meal is great with a green salad!
The sauce is cheesy and bubbly, the corners a browned a bit. If you have never made a casserole in the slow cooker, make this your first try! Have a great week!

This looks delicious and I really want to try it, but I have kids who don’t like stuffing. Can I make this without the stuffing?
Yes. Should be fine.
I am going to be making this very soon. My only confusion is…do I make the cornbread stuffing and put it in the crockpot or just put the cornbread package mix in the crockpot? ♀️
just the mix.
Recipe great made twice I like to cut chicken and ham in chunks it scoops why better and looks awesome on playe
Assuming this can be baked in the oven. Any idea on the oven temperature and amount of time??? Looks delicious.
Hi, I had a hard time finding an exact recipe. But I found this one that the cooking time looks about right. https://www.thechunkychef.com/chicken-cordon-bleu-stuffing-casserole/
I baked this, in the oven, years ago. The recipe was on the outside of the Stove-Top Stuffing box. Perhaps, if you good Stove-Top Stuffing recipes, it would be there.
Could you cook it on low for 8 hours? I leave for work at 8:15 am and don’t get home until after 5 pm.
Hi Vicky, thicker recipes like this I don’t recommend that long. It will burn on the edges.
Thank you!
Get a plug in light timer from Home Deport or Lowe’s, etc. I use to start the slow cooker when I am out longer than the recipe cooking time calls for.
A timer is a good idea but you would want to be careful of how long the food is sitting there uncooked before it starts. It might be better to splurge on a crockpot with a built-in timer where you start it right away and it switches over to the keep warm setting when the cook time is done.
Didn’t make it in the crock pot due the the number eating dinner. But this was fabulous! Easy and quick to make and clean up! So delicious!
This is very good and so easy! Thanks for this one! A keeper.
Made this last night for dinner. Follow e earthing as written except I didn’t have cream of chicken soup so I used cream of mushroom soup. I also cut the ham and cheese in cubes sense my small grandsons were eating with us. Also it was a little salty but all in all it was very good. My said it was a “do against ‘ . But next time I think I will use a soup with less salt, hopefully that will cut back on the salt.
Thank you for a great recipe
Cooked it on low for 5 hours and the chicken was raw, now I have to put it in the oven high temp so we can at least eat by bedtime. Wanted to eat at 7 , good thing I don’t have little kids any more,!
It’s shouldn’t be raw. Some have said the ham dyes the chicken pink in the recipe. If it really is raw, you need a new slow cooker.
Can you use deli slices of ham?
Can you use something besides stuffing
It’s hard to say without testing. The stuffing mix has seasoning in it, so if you did crunched up crackers or breadcrumbs I’d add some seasoning.
I haven’t tried it yet but I plan to
Could this be cooked on the high setting and be done in half the time?
It would have to be tested. Thicker dishes like this tend to burn.
Can you use frozen chicken breasts?
Hi, I don’t use frozen meats in any of my recipes so I can not advise.
i would butterfly the chicken and put the ham and cheese inside, cover with soup mixture, prepare stuffing of your choice and spread on top. i’ve tried both ways and find that just pouring on the package of stuffing leaves everything too dry for me.
This is an excellent recipe. I have seen that people say this recipe is dry. In order to prevent this i prepped the ingredients the night before and added 1/2 cop of white wine to the dressing. I put the the crock in the refrigerator. I didn’t put the melted butter over the stuffing till it was time to cook. The moisture from the condensation is an added plus. The dish was very moist. My husband and I not have it in our rotation of meals.
It needed more liquid. Very dried out. Any suggestions? I followed the recipe exactly.
