  1. All of the flavors of the real deal but in significantly less time. It was really easy to prepare especailly if you can get the cheese and ham pre-cubed. Make sure you serve it with noodles or stuffing or even mashed taters so all the yummy cheesey gravy has something to stick to! Thanks Miss Annie! I will definately make this again!
     
  2. This is my second review...I didn't have ham on hand today, so I subsituted cook and crumbled bacon which gave it a completely different flavor. We loved it.
     
  3. Great recipe! As to the comments of bland... not everyone likes all the garbage. That what salt and pepper are for. If you don't have anything nice to say, stay silent.... I think the plan was awesome. Worked great for me. Only wrinkle for me.. ..company came over... had no time for the store so I used deli ham and deli swiss slices. Cubed the cheese as best I could, and cut ham into thin strips. Everyone loved it!! Sorry no picture.. didnt have a chance to take one. :-)
     
  4. Delicious! Even DH, who is not overly fond of Swiss Cheese, enjoyed it and said it's a keeper. He said he actually liked it better than traditional Cordon Bleu because the cheesy sauce coated each and every bite. I used some leftover ham that had been in the deep freeze and wasn't quite worthy of sandwiches and sandwich sliced Swiss that I diced myself. I mixed the soup and milk, added the ham and stirred in the cheese pieces to keep them from clumping together. Put the chicken in the bottom of the baking dish and dumped the the soup and ham mixture over top. I also added another step. Whenever I use a breading on moist meat or veggies I always dredge in flour first. This gives the wet mixture something to "grip" and makes for a better final coating. I used WW Flour with a dash of salt and pepper. Salad and Garlic Toast completed this yummy meal. Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. This was delicious! I used Italian breadcrumbs and mixed the soup with part milk part white wine, it turned out great! I also sprinkled some of the bread crumbs on top, spritzed a little butter and put it under the broiler for a few minutes to give it a nice crunchy top. Served it with simple steamed broccoli.

Tweaks

  1. I make this but add a pack of stuff mix. I make the stuffing mix as directed and spoon it across the top of the casserole before baking.
     
  2. I love this recipe. I did however add some penne pasta to it. Because I did that, I added another can of cream of chicken soup and another cup of milk. I skipped the breading on the chicken. (Still good) Threw some frozen peas in it, and topped with a Monterey Jack cheese blend and crushed ritz crackers on top. I still added the Swiss in it of course. I cheated and used diced ham. It turned out really well! My husband and his friend loved it!
     
  3. I thought this recipe turned out very good for me. I did not bread the chicken but I did pan fry it up first with garlic, natures seasoning, and lawrys. I also added toasted cubed garlic french bread. It was very good and smelled even better. Will definitely make and again and try using pasta instead of the bread.
     
  4. I made this using Quorn tenders instead of the chicken breast following the directions exactly the same way. It turned out fantastic. I also used low fat or reduced fat versions of the soup, cheese and milk. I served this over rice with steamed broccoli on the side. Next time I won't bother with the rice. It was good on it's own.
     
  5. Very tasty! I added a bit of white wine in place of some of the liquid, used some left over smoked ham-- all which added a nice flavor to the meal. A very nice casserole.
