Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole IS the warm creamy comfort food you’re looking for! This easy, cheesy chicken and ham dish takes everything you love about classic chicken cordon bleu and makes it even simpler. With layers of tender chicken, smoky ham, melty Swiss cheese, and a crunchy secret ingredient topping, it comes together effortlessly in the slow cooker. No rolling, no breading—just hearty, comforting flavors in every bite.
In the slow cooker the chicken stays juicy and tender. The chicken is layered with ham that adds a smoky bite, and the Swiss cheese melts into a creamy, tangy layer. The secret ingredient—instant stuffing mix—creates a crisp, golden topping that ties everything together. A creamy sauce keeps it all moist, making this a dish you’ll want to serve again and again.
Plus, I’ve just updated this post with heart-healthy low-salt ideas to cut the salt in every serving. If you need or want low-salt ideas, they’re all listed below.

I play around with a lot of make-ahead-type meals in the crockpot and the instant pot. Lucky for you I share the best of them with you. Unlucky for my family we have to eat the good and the bad.
An Easy Crockpot Chicken Breast in Recipe that isn’t Shredded Chicken!
FINALLY. I see so many shredded meat recipes for the crockpot, thankfully this one doesn’t have shredded chicken breast. Just chopped chicken breast meat that is not a shredded mess at the end. My Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken isn’t shredded chicken either, it holds it’s shape!

Too Salty for you?
Not everyone is bothered by excess salt in food but some of you are. I know the salt in this can be too much for a lot of people. I get it! So use low-sodium ham AND Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup mix to help lower to the salt content in the recipe. You can ALSO find Low Sodium Stove Top Stuffing.
Swapping any of the ingredients called for can significantly reduce the sodium. Consider the options if you are cooking for someone who watches their salt intake.
Know Your Crockpot
Does your crockpot cook really high? Or just barely cook on low? It’s important to remember that all crockpots cook differently. Some run hot or cool and you should know what yours does.
If low on your crockpot doesn’t cook meat completely in 4 hours, you may want to start this casserole out on high and then lower the temperature.
I always recommend making a new dish in the crockpot on the weekend, when a delayed dinner isn’t going to hurt too much. Do NOT make this or any crockpot recipe for the first time when you have friends coming over. Always give them a trial run!

How to Store Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. For best results, add a splash of milk when reheating to keep everything moist.
