Chicken cordon bleu is one of those genius recipes that uses simple ingredients and puts them all together in a way that takes it to the next level — succulent chicken stuffed with ham and melted Swiss cheese, then breaded and fried for a deliciously crisp crust. In the recipe below, we simplify all those steps and cook it all in a slow cooker.
I like to use leftover rotisserie chicken; just shred it and remove the bones and you're set. The sauce doesn't even require a pot. Simply mix everything in a bowl with cornstarch as a thickener and pour over the chicken. Then layer ham and Swiss cheese. I keep that crunch you get from breading and frying by mixing melted butter, breadcrumbs, herbs and seasoning. It's the perfect way to make chicken cordon bleu with out all the extra steps.
