Pioneer Woman Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole Recipe Tips:

• Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole with Mushrooms and Herbs. Add fresh thyme and sautéed mushrooms to enhance the flavor. Melt the butter and begin by browning the cut mushrooms. For earthy, savory undertones, add chopped thyme and garlic powder. Add them to the broth, ham, and chicken mixture. For richness, add sour cream and Swiss cheese and mix. Sprinkle with buttered breadcrumbs and continue baking. Add some chopped parsley and a few thyme leaves at the end.
• Casserole with Broccoli and Chicken Cordon Bleu. For an added vegetable boost, add soft steamed broccoli florets. First, steam the broccoli just enough to make it crisp-tender and vivid green. Add it to the soup, sour cream, ham, and chicken. For that traditional melty finish, add Swiss cheese and stir. Sprinkle the golden, buttery breadcrumbs over the filling. Bake with a crispy topping until hot and bubbling. Add parsley as a garnish for some color.
• Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole in the Italian Style. Instead of using Swiss, use Parmesan and shredded mozzarella to give it an Italian flair. For a crunchy, delicious topping, use breadcrumbs seasoned with Italian spices. Add a pinch of oregano and dried basil to the soup mixture and stir. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes next for a tart, sweet taste. Garnish with fresh basil leaves after baking till golden and bubbling. This version has Mediterranean-inspired ingredients and is creamy and cheesy.
