Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole - Easy/Healthy Version for Two
- 1 (8 ounce) can white meat chicken
- 3 -4 slices deli ham
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 34 cup cheddar cheese, shreaded sharp (Kraft's 2% is good!)
- 0.5 (10 ounce) can low-fat cream of celery soup (freeze the rest for later!)
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 12 teaspoon dill
- 12 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 teaspoon onion powder
- 18 teaspoon nutmeg
- salt & pepper
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- Heat oven to 350
- Pour oil in a large skillet and heat over med-high heat.
- Drain chicken from can and add to heated oil.
- Tear apart ham (bitesize pieces) and add to skillet.
- Keep stirring chicken/ham mixture around in skillet until chicken is slightly browned and there should be no oil left - it should all be absorbed.
- (appx 5 minutes total).
- Transfer chicken/ham mixture from skillet to a 9x9 (or close to 9x9) baking dish, add 1/2 cup of cheese, and set aside.
- Return skillet to stove and turn heat down to medium.
- Pour in the cream of celery soup and gradually add milk and stir to make smooth.
- Keep it bubbling for about a minute then turn down to low.
- Add dill, garlic, onion, nutmeg, and salt & pepper to soup mixture and stir until blended.
- Pour soup mixture over chicken/ham/cheese mixture and gently stir until everything is covered.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs on top then sprinkle on the remainder (1/4 cup) of the cheese.
- I usually then sprinkle on some more dill and black pepper but it's just for presentation.
- Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
