5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu
This 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu layers tender chicken, deli ham, Swiss cheese, and creamy sauce for an easy comfort-food dinner. Serve it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice to catch every bit of sauce.
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray for the slow cooker
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Slice horizontally if very thick
- 4 to 6 slices thin deli ham enough to cover the chicken
- 4 to 6 slices Swiss cheese or provolone
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- salt for the table if needed
- pepper for the table if needed
Instructions
- Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer across the bottom of the slow cooker, slicing very thick breasts in half horizontally first so they cook more evenly.
- Lay the deli ham over the chicken, folding or tearing the slices as needed so each breast is covered.
- Place the Swiss cheese over the ham so each piece of chicken is covered, or use provolone instead.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until mostly smooth, then pour the mixture evenly over the chicken, ham, and cheese.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through to 165°F in the thickest part.
- Carefully remove the chicken with a wide spatula or large spoon, scooping up the ham, melted cheese, and creamy sauce with each serving, and serve hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Notes
Store leftovers with plenty of sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions gently in the microwave, covered loosely, adding a spoonful of milk if the sauce has thickened. You can also reheat it in a covered skillet over low heat. Freezing is not ideal because the creamy sauce may separate after thawing.
