How to make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole:

For the casserole:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray two 18.6 ounce individual baking dishes with non-stick spray and set aside. Click for 18.6 oz individual baking dishes. You can also use one 8 x 8 inch oven safe dish.

Dice the chicken and cook over medium heat in a medium skillet for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Drain the liquid.

Place the cooked chicken in the bottom of the baking dishes, divided evenly.

Chop the ham and scatter it over the top of the chicken in each dish.

Lay the Swiss cheese slices on top of the ham.

For the sauce:

Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat.

When butter is melted, quickly whisk in the flour to form a smooth roux. Do not brown!

Once the roux is smooth and bubbly, slowly pour in the cold milk, while whisking, to make a smooth sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.

Stir in the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, paprika and pepper.

Bring the sauce just back to a low boil and turn off heat.

Pour the sauce evenly over the Swiss cheese layer and spread out.
