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!

Is there anyways to speed up the cooking time without drying it out. 5 hours is just hard for a dinner since I get home at 530
Love this! Just wondering if I made homemade stuffing would it work as a substitute for the boxed stuffing mix?
You could and skip the butter
Followed recipe exactly. Somehow became overpowered by the chicken and was SO dry. Trying to figure out how to rework the leftovers into something edible 🙁
I want to have this for dinner tomorrow but would like to put in crockpot today. Do you think it would be ok? Have made many times and love it!
It would be fine, just like leftovers would taste.
I have everything but the Stovetop, as I’m not a fan..any suggestions for a sub, or ok to just make if without? I considered doing a side of brown rice to serve with this!
I am not the biggest fan either however the Herb flavor I actually enjoy…worth a try.
My kids really wanted to try this recipe but I didn’t have any stuffing mix, so I used crunched up round butter crackers (Ritz) and tossed in some panko bread crumbs. It turned out pretty good. I’m sure it didn’t have as much flavor as the stuffing mix would have.
I’ve used Panko Crumbs in a thin layer.
I made this recipe yesterday only using 2 chicken breasts and I used cream of celery instead and it came out amazing <3 thank you for this recipe.
Is there a way to do it without adding the milk?
You could do water if your out of milk
I’ve made this a dozen times for my family and we love it. It is yummy and comforting. I’ve always cut the chicken and ham into bite sized pieces just to save time later and it has always been cooked through and full of flavor. Thanks!!
thank you for letting me know how you like it! I love the idea of cutting up the ham and chicken, thanks for the tip.
I did the same. I cut up the ham and chicken and it was great.
Made this last night and followed recipe exactly. Stuffing overpowered any flavor of ham or swiss. Cooked on low 5 hours and chicken was terribly dry and most of soup mixture was gone. So disappointed
I’m excited to make this today. However, I just realized that I have Stove Top Stuffing rather than Cornbread. Do you think the stuffing will work as well!
It’s the same thing, yes it will work fine.
Do you think you could cook the Chicken Cordon Bleu for a croud and in the oven? If so, what would you do?
I followed exactly and it tasted mega salty.
Hi, Sarah. I am new to your recipes. Made this, very easy to make and that was good. It was okay. Not so much to our tastes, nothing wrong with it, though. Just not for us. What I really liked about it was how easy it was to put together.
thank you for your feedback!
Made this recipe. Was a little salty. Not sure if it was the ham or the Swiss. So will change it up next time using a different cheese or ham
Have followed this recipe several times already and it is delicious!!! I love everything about it. Will be making it tomorrow again. Thanks for sharing!
