While looking through my notebook, I ran across a recipe that I made oh, about 5 or so years ago. I remember making it. And I remember Sean loving it, which is a miracle considering it has a **shudder** vegetable in it. But I never made it again. I decided why not try it again.
I've never made real Chicken Cordon Bleu, and I honestly think I've only eaten it once or twice, so I can't truly compare this casserole to the real thing. I made some changes to the recipe that I found, and in the recipe I've posted below I've made a few tweaks that I think will make it better. It's not a light recipe by any means, but if your New Year's Resolution was to eat healthier, you could probably make some changes to make it healthier...
It was good, but I probably won't make it often. While D and I liked it, Sean and even Kade just picked at it. Oh well.
Random, but have I mentioned that school starts back today? I am SO ready. ;)
Enjoy!
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
1-1/4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup frozen peas
4 oz ham, diced
8 oz grated Swiss cheese, divided
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 350'F.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chicken and cook until browned. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth and milk. Stir in peas, ham, half of the Swiss cheese, black pepper, egg noodles and chicken.
