Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is also a simple chicken recipe for a busy weeknight meal. This simple casserole combines all of your favorite flavors of chicken, ham & swiss-cheese making it quick to prepare. This utilizes a rotisserie chicken however, you might also use leftover chicken too!
I’m always on the search for leftover chicken recipes if you prefer use a rotisserie chicken, then don’t hesitate to utilize any other sort of chicken, but you should be certain it’s well experienced once you cook it. I simply can not pass up those tasty $5 rotisseries in Sam’s Club once I’m in a hurry. Convenience is well worth it occasionally!
