Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat egg and 1/2 cup milk together until combined. Stir in the chicken chunks to coat, then drain, and coat with bread crumbs. Heat oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry breaded chicken cubes in hot oil until golden brown on all sides, then remove, and drain on paper towels.
• Place chicken cubes in a glass baking dish, along with the Swiss cheese, and ham. Stir together the soup with 1 cup milk, pour over casserole.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer noodles to the prepared casserole dish; top with chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese.
• Mix cream of chicken soup, milk, and sour cream together in a bowl; spoon soup mixture over noodle mixture.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in the melted butter until crumbs are coated with butter and cheese, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Allow casserole to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Put the ham on a paper towel-lined plate and microwave for about 3 minutes to reduce the moisture content. Mix together the Swiss and Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl.
• Put about a third of chicken in a layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half the ham. Sprinkle over 1/4 cup of the mixed cheese. Repeat 1 more time, then finish with a layer of chicken.
• Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Put the panko in a bowl, pour in half of the melted butter, mix well and set aside.
• Add the flour to the remaining butter in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking out any lumps. Whisk in the milk, broth, Dijon and cayenne and let it cook until it begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the casserole. Sprinkle over the remaining 1 cup cheese, then the panko mix. Bake until the top is browned and the casserole is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, combine broth, sour cream and gravy; mix well with wire whisk. Stir in uncooked noodles, peas, ham, paprika and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Spoon into ungreased shallow 2-quart casserole.
• Place chicken over noodle mixture; sprinkle with seasoned salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cover with foil.
• Bake covered at 375°F. for 30 minutes.
• Uncover casserole; bake 20 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, and noodles are tender and thoroughly heated.
• Place 2 cheese slice halves over each chicken breast half. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line with foil and lightly spray a small baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Melt butter over medium high heat in a saute pan.
• Add chicken and saute until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in shallots and saute until softened, 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle mixture with flour, cook 1 minute.
• Combine apple juice and broth; slowly add to chicken in saute pan, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.
• Stir in cream, Parmesan, mustard, and thyme; simmer after each addition until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Add BLANCHED broccoli; season with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Hollow out loaves by cutting off tops and tearing out insides. (Remove as much bread as possible.).
• Compress any remaining bread inside loaves to make room for filling-you need space.
• Toast loaves directly on oven rack, about 5 minutes; remove to prepared baking sheet.
• Arrange ham slices in bottom of each loaf.
• Using a slotted spoon, divide chicken mixture evenly between rolls, RESERVING sauce in pan for last step.
• Top the chicken in each loaf with a slice of Swiss and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Parmesan.
• Bake "casseroles" until cheese melts, 7-10 minutes. (For extra browning, broil casseroles on high, 3-5 minutes.).
• Serve each casserole with reserved cream sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350
• Pour oil in a large skillet and heat over med-high heat.
• Drain chicken from can and add to heated oil.
• Tear apart ham (bitesize pieces) and add to skillet.
• Keep stirring chicken/ham mixture around in skillet until chicken is slightly browned and there should be no oil left - it should all be absorbed.
• (appx 5 minutes total).
• Transfer chicken/ham mixture from skillet to a 9x9 (or close to 9x9) baking dish, add 1/2 cup of cheese, and set aside.
• Return skillet to stove and turn heat down to medium. Pour in the cream of celery soup and gradually add milk and stir to make smooth. Keep it bubbling for about a minute then turn down to low.
• Add dill, garlic, onion, nutmeg, and salt & pepper to soup mixture and stir until blended. Pour soup mixture over chicken/ham/cheese mixture and gently stir until everything is covered.
• Sprinkle bread crumbs on top then sprinkle on the remainder (1/4 cup) of the cheese. I usually then sprinkle on some more dill and black pepper but it's just for presentation.
• Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
