• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create the perfect Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole:

1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
2. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the wide egg noodles for 7-9 minutes, or until tender but firm to the bite. Drain the noodles and transfer them into the prepared casserole dish.
3. Layer the ingredients: Top the cooked noodles with chopped chicken, cubed ham, and Swiss cheese.
4. Prepare the creamy sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the noodle, chicken, and ham layer in the casserole dish.
5. Make the topping: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Cook and stir for about 2-3 minutes, until the bread crumbs are well-coated and slightly toasted.
6. Assemble the casserole: Sprinkle the buttered bread crumb and Parmesan topping evenly over the casserole.
7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
8. Cool and serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
