Grocery List

Here is the basic rundown of what is needed for this dish. I’ve also included substitutes that can be used if you do not have any of these items. 

Chicken - A rotisserie chicken or any type of precooked chicken will work for this. If you use raw chicken you will need to cook the casserole longer than what the recipe states below. 

Ham   -  Cooked lean ham such as 98% fat-free to keep this casserole low in points.

Swiss Cheese -  Other cheese can be subbed but swiss is the main and traditional cheese often used in the dish chicken cordon bleu.

Using cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk are pretty traditional ingredients found in casseroles. This help combine and 

Bread Crumbs - the outer coating of chicken cordon bleu which is used as the top of bread crumbs for 

How to make Chicken Cordon Bleu 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. 

While noodles are boiling, cook the chicken in a skillet with some butter 3 to 5 minutes per side. Set aside. The chicken doesn’t have to be cooked all the way through cause it will finish cooking in the casserole dish. 

Drain and transfer noodles to the prepared casserole dish; top with chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese.

Mix cream of chicken soup, milk, and sour cream together in a bowl; spoon soup mixture over noodle mixture.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in the melted butter until crumbs are coated with butter and cheese, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over casserole.



Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Allow casserole to cool for 10 minutes before serving.


How is this a WW recipe?

On WW there is no food off limits and everything is on the table.  That is why I love this program so much. So, Let’s stop telling ourselves that we can’t eat certain foods. That’s not true. We can eat them, but sometimes we choose not to eat them. 

How does Weight Watchers work? 

Each recipe or food has a Smart Points value. This is calculated using calories, saturated fat, protein, and sugar. It is best to stay away from foods that are loaded with saturated fat and sugar on the plan because those foods are higher in points. When you register with Weight Watchers you are given a daily set of points to target based on your age, gender, height, and activity level. Think of it as an easier way to track your macros. 

The pink in the casserole is the ham, not the chicken. 🙂
