A delicious chicken casserole with all the ingredients of chicken cordon bleu: chicken, ham, swiss cheese all baked together over white rice. I’ve made it extra-flavorful by adding some cheddar cheese and a buttery Ritz cracker crumb topping.
Using a rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken makes Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole super easy to put together.
