  • Place cubed chicken and cubed ham in a large bowl; set aside.
  • In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt butter. Add in onion, celery and mushrooms and sautee 5-6 minutes or until soft.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together milk and flour until smooth; pour into saucepan. Add in salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley; stir well and heat through.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in shredded cheese. Stir often until cheese is melted.
  • Pour sauce mixture over chicken/ham mixture and toss to coat. Pour into prepared casserole dish; press down so all meat is covered with sauce. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over top.

  • Serve over hot cooked noodles or rice, if desired.

  1. This was AMAZING!! My family loved it. We usually make Chicken Cordon Bleu, but it's a lot of work, and can sometimes dry out. This was so moist and delicious. I don't think that we'll make the original again. The only thing that I did differently was to make a roux with the butter, flour and milk. Thanks for the great recipe!
     
  2. Wow was this GREAT! I was heavy handed with the cheese (mix of swiss & mozzarella) so I thinned the sauce with some chicken stock. I didn't use mushrooms as I had none on hand and used celery flakes instead of real celery. I used a store roasted chicken and deli ham. So easy and delicious!
     
  3. I loved the flavor of this and so did everyone I served it to. (It was a good meal to bring to our friends who just had a baby.) Mine did not turn out creamy, but more brothy and you couldn't really detect the cheese. I'm not sure if it's because I used too much milk or the whole spelt flour. I'm sure it could be tweaked, and besides it was fine this way. Instead of rice/pasta I suggest trying it over Focaccia bread, yum!
     
  4. I was kind of disappointed with this.. Although it tasted pretty good the sauce came out grainy.. I looked up what may have caused this and a lot of sites said to turn off the heat when mixing in the cheese. Not sure if I'll try this again or not
     
  5. This was just fabulous. I didn't use the celery or mushrooms and I used sliced deli ham that I just piled up and cut into squares. I also subbed cubed deli style swiss cheese. There was more than 8 oz but the sauce was so good I could have just sat there and eaten that with a spoon. Yum. I served it over noodles.
