Chicken cordon bleu has been revamped so many times, it's hard to believe there are any more dishes that could include some form of it. However, the recipe that follows shows just how many spins this classic can have put on it. It's not only fitting for an entire meal, but it's also a new spin on that traditional stuffing often served during the holidays.
It's really easy, too. Pieces of chicken are simply laid in the bottom of a casserole dish before being topped with ham, Swiss cheese, and a creamy sauce. Prepared stuffing takes over for the breadcrumbs one would traditionally find in a casserole and the entire thing bakes together in the oven. So hearty and delicious, and just one more way anyone can enjoy delicious chicken cordon bleu.
