This slow cooker Chicken cordon bleu recipe is one of my favorite meals. Thanks to this chicken cordon bleu casserole I don’t have to fight with the complicated restaurant version!
Making it in a slow cooker with chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and stuffing turns it into a perfect casserole that takes no time to prepare.
Preparing this classic meal in the Crockpot is a dream. It’s so much easier and sure, the presentation is not the same as the classic version but it’s so much easier to make that you won’t even care what it looks like.
This delicious dinner recipe is a family favorite. It’s loaded with flavor and cheesy goodness, everyone devours it at meal time.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
I remember the days of stuffing and rolling chicken to then pan fry to make chicken cordon bleu. While I have loved making this in the past, let’s face it – busy families don’t often have time for that type of meal.
I wanted something easier but also satisfying. Not only did I want to make the classic chicken and ham dish, I knew there needed to be a side included.
With the stuffing in there this casserole becomes an all in one dish that everyone in my family begs for all the time.
Should I use a Slow Cooker Liner for this Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe?
I am a huge fan of using slow cooker liners. They really help me with cleanup, but if you don’t have one or prefer not to use them, the non-stick spray works well also.
When working with a casserole-style recipe the biggest struggle is that pasta or bread will stick to the slow cooker very easily. Since this recipe uses a stuffing mix as part of the base, you know you need something to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

I use a liner whenever I’m making anything that might get stuck on. It makes cleanup a breeze and keeps everything easy to remove! You’ll need a good metal serving spoon to get this recipe served up pretty and easily.
When it comes to Crockpots I have MANY…it’s an obsession of mine, I’m not too proud to admit. I like to have options when it comes to sizes. A nice 6 quart is useful for all kinds of recipes. You can also use a 4 quart for many recipes and these Little Dipper crockpots are perfect for dessert, fondue, and more!
What’s the best ham for this recipe?
I list below that you should use luncheon meat, and that is exactly what works best for the recipe. What type of lunchmeat you choose, is up to your preferences.
A traditional basic ham is a classic, but you may prefer a smokier flavor or sweeter option. I prefer smoked ham slices over honey ham, but you can try a variety to find the one that works best for you.

In the crock pot now. I think next time I'll do half lb of ham the full lb seems like too much.

I’m new to crockpot cooking. Is the chicken raw or pre cooked when it’s added?

Can this be made in the oven ? It seems like it would adapt well.

I'm not sure, I've never made it that way! You could try but I've only ever made this version in the Crockpot!

This sound great and I will be making it soon. Please on all recipes include the size of the slow cooker used. I will be making this in my 3 1/2 qt. casserole crock but I truly wish this size used for this was in the recipe that was posted. Thank you!

Does this recipe call for boxed stuffing like Stove Top or just packaged seasoned croutons sold to make stuffing with?

Thank you for mentioning that. We are going back through our past posts and also all recipes going forward. We recommend a 5-quart crockpot, but I would think as long as you don't double it, it should fit in your 3 1/2 quart.
