One of my childhood favorites made easily in the slow cooker. This Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is so simple to make! It’s a layered casserole with chicken breasts, ham, swiss cheese, sauce, and stuffing.

Why this recipe works

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 Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole can be loaded in the slow cooker within two 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.

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredeints for chicken cordon bleu on table.
  • Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Ham: Sliced ham is layered on the chicken for a salty contrast. You can use leftover ham, honey ham, or even deli ham, anything works!
  • Swiss Cheese: A classic choice, you can also use provolone cheese or mozzarella cheese.
  • Cream of Chicken Soup: This is the creamy sauce base.
  • Milk: Thins out the soup base.
  • Seasonings: Dried oregano, garlic powder, and pepper. No salt is needed; there is plenty of sodium in the ingredients.
  • Stuffing Mix: One box of chicken stove top stuffing (often called instant stuffing).
  • Butter: This is drizzled over the stuffing to top off the recipe.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Mix the condensed cream of chicken soup, milk, and seasonings. Set aside.

Step Two – Place the chicken breast down into your crock pot.

Step Three – Layer the ham over the chicken.

Step Four – Next, add the sliced swiss cheese.

Step Five – Pour the soup mixture over the layers you made and spread out with a spatula.

Step Six – Sprinkle over the dry stuffing mix and drizzle over the melted butter.

Recipe Variations

  • Cornbread Stuffing: Look for cornbread stuffing (or savory flavor) to change up the recipe.
  • Pepper Jack Cheese: For an entirely different twist, use pepper jack cheese for a blast of flavor.
  • Almond Topping: For an added crunch, add a 1/4 cup of sliced almonds on top of the instant stuffing.
  • Vegetables: Add a can of green beans, corn, or cut broccoli to complete this meal.
  • Chicken thighs: Chicken thighs work great in this recipe; they turn out very moist.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?

No, use fully thawed chicken breasts for the best results.

Can fully cooked chicken be used?

Crock pot chicken cordon bleu is best with raw chicken, for raw chicken adds moisture to the overall dish.

Why is my chicken still pink?

Something happens while the chicken and the ham cook next together, where the pinkness from the ham transfers to the chicken. If your chicken temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s done cooking.

How can I cut back on sodium?

There are a few things you can do to cut the salt content. Use healthy request cream of chicken soup, low sodium ham, and unsalted butter.

      Does this come out very watery? Every time I make chicken in the crockpot I end up with a lot of water so my recipes are soupy. any tips to avoid this?

        Don’t use frozen chicken, pat your chicken down with paper towels and don’t add any water unless the recipe calls for it. This recipe is not watery.
