Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna
If you love Lasagna and Chicken Cordon Bleu, you will be in heaven with this recipe! This is layers of ham, chicken, noodles, all nestled in a creamy, cheesy sauce.
When I was dating my husband, we went to a fancy restaurant for a date (it was fancy for us, lol). Chicken Cordon Bleu has always been one of my favorite dishes. My hubby told me to order whatever I wanted, and yes, they had Chicken Cordon Bleu on the menu. Just so you know, this wasn’t a first date and actually we had decided to get married at this point.
I ordered my favorite dish and loved every minute! I learned later that my hubby only had a certain amount of money in his wallet and he was worried the whole time that he wasn’t going to have enough to cover the bill. I feel so bad now because I never knew!
With that being said, I totally love this dish! Lasagna has always been a family favorite, so to combine my favorites is like a dream come true!

Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounces) package lasagna noodles (about 12 noodles)
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 1/2 cups rotisserie chicken, diced
- 8 ounces deli ham, chopped
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees .
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and let simmer for a couple of minutes. Stir in cream cheese into hot butter until it begins to melt, about 5 minutes. It might look strange here! Don't worry. Season with salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk milk gradually into cream cheese and then the whipping cream until smooth; make sure to do it slowly. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of Swiss cheese.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, whisking continually until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove mixture from heat.
Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce onto the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Arrange 1/3 of the lasagna noodles over the sauce (3 noodles for me). You can tear them to fit as needed. Spread half the cooked chicken and half the ham over the noodles. Pour 1 cup sauce over chicken and ham. Repeat layers starting with half the remaining lasagna noodles, remaining chicken, remaining ham, and 1 more cup of cheese sauce. Finish by layering remaining lasagna noodles, remaining sauce, remaining 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, and bread crumbs; sprinkle top with Italian seasoning. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Remove foil and spray top with cooking spray, and continue to bake until crumbs are browned, about 10 more minutes. Let casserole stand 10 minutes before serving.
