    Loved this recipe! Tastes like it came from a restaurant. I didn’t add the milk. Family loved it a lot! Thank you so much for all these amazing recipes.

  2. Despite the list of ingredients….prep looks very easy and the end result very delicious !

  3. This looks like an intersting (and delcious) variation on chickeen cordon bleu….must give it a try.

  4. What do you serve with this dish? Besides a veggie? Thanks

  5. Sue Perham says:

    Amy, just wondering how many this serves? I don’t see anywhere the amount of servings for your recipes? I need to make a dinner for 10 adults and a few small children. What do you suggest?
    Thanks in advance, Sue . 🙂

      Hi Sue,
      If you use 6 chicken breasts it will serve 6 people. If I were you I’d double the recipe and make two of these casseroles. Each person should get 1 chicken breasts. For kids you could cut the chicken breasts in half if they aren’t big eaters. Hope that helps! Thanks! Also if you want a but thicker sauce just use 1/4 to 1/3 cup of milk. -Amy

    Disappointed, sauce was way too thin. What do you think I did wrong?

    1. Hi Kay,
      So sorry you were disappointed. We love this casserole. It’s not supposed to be a real thick sauce. You could omit the milk next time. Also, baking a little longer uncovered should thicken it up a bit. Thanks -Amy

  8. My family really enjoyed this recipe, but I have found that there was WAY too much sauce using only 4 breasts. So I set aside about 1/4 of the sauce, and a couple of days later used it with 2 more breasts. Also, since I have diverticulitis and need to avoid nuts, I used crunchy fried onions and peppers instead of almonds, sprinkling them atop the cheese before the last 15 minutes in the oven. I also turned the oven up to 400 for the last 15 minutes, to crisp the veggies & cheese a bit. Very tasty!

  9. Hi Mary and Frank,
    I guess every oven is different. I’ve made this recipe dozens of times and it works perfectly in my oven. I will cut back milk in recipe to 3/4 cup and my sugestion is bake until sauce thickens a bit. Thanks for sharing! -Amy

  10. Mary Michaels says:

    I made this according to exact directions and the sauce is very runny/thin. I think you need to tweak your recipe.

  11. Suzanne Boismier says:

    I just cant wait to make it. I saw you that day on the TV and it look just hummy and I will use only garlic pouder for I never cook or use at the table salt it seem to burn my chest . Thank for the recipe

  12. Frank Nemechek says:

    I tried this recipe this evening and while it tasted quite good, the sauce was much runnier than yours in the video. What did I do wrong and how do I thicken the sauce?

  13. I make something near this. Much less fancy.
    We call it Chicken Cor Don Bleu Casserole.
    2-3 cooked and diced chicken breasts, ham of some sort (bite size pieces), 8 oz swiss cheese cubed, 1 can cream of chicken soup, and 4 cups cooked white rice. add basil, garlic salt, pepper. Combine all ingredients in a casserole dish, cover and bake at 350 for 40-45 min or bubbly. We like it here and it stretches our meat budget by filling up on rice.

  14. Bob Ronin says:

    Your “Elegant Chicken, Ham, and Swiss Casserole” recipe sounds delicious and I am anxious try it. However, the recipe does not specify at what temperature to bake the casserole. Would you please supply this information. Thank you.

  15. Sandy Verden says:

    At what temperature do you bake this casserole?

    1. Sorry guys! This should bake at 350 degrees F. I’ve updated the recipe. Let me know how they turn out!
