Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Submitted by ladywisconsin

"This is true Chicken Cordon Bleu for me. Bite sized pieces make it a favorite for children. You can make the casserole a day or two ahead of time, and just pop it in the oven for a quick meal. For a lighter twist, you could skip the breading on the chicken and just brown in a pan. I can guarrantee that you won't have any leftovers with this dish."
