I wanted chicken cordon bleu one night but I didn't feel like doing everything that is involved in making it. So I got some inspiration from a few recipes and came up with this one. My husband and son both had thirds! This is comfort food at it's best! Ingredients:
4 medium chicken breasts, diced |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1 lb penne pasta, cooked |
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup, concentrate |
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of celery soup, concentrate |
1/4 cup milk |
1/4 cup white wine |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt |
1 medium green pepper, diced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 lb cooked ham, diced (i found it already diced near the hams at my grocery store) |
6 slices swiss cheese or 1 cup swiss cheese, shredded |
1 cup panko breadcrumbs |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the chicken in a large skillet over Medium/High heat until it is no longer pink. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, milk, white wine, garlic powder and seasoned salt. Whisk until well combined.
4. Stir chicken and ham into the soup mixture.
5. In the pan used to cook the chicken, heat the olive oil over Medium/High heat. Add the peppers and saute for 5 minutes.
6. Stir peppers into the chicken/ham/soup mixture until well combined.
7. Stir the cooked penne into the chicken/ham/soup/pepper mixer and mix gently until combined.
8. Spray a large glass baking dish with cooking spray and pour the mixture into the dish. Spread it out evenly.
9. Layer Swiss cheese on top of the chicken/soup mixture (or sprinkle cheese evenly over the top if using shredded).
10. In a small bowl, add Panko.
11. Pour melted butter over Panko and mix around until the crumbs are moist.
12. Sprinkle the crumbs over the cheese.
13. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes until cheese is melted and chicken/soup mixture is hot.
14. Uncover and turn oven to broil. Broil until the crumbs begin to brown (about 5 minutes).
