Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole: A Comforting Classic

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce:

In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Assemble the Casserole:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with olive oil.

Layer the cooked egg noodles at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Add the chopped chicken breast and cubed ham on top of the noodles.

Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken and ham, and stir gently to combine.

Add the Cheese:

Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Bake:

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
