Cordon Bleu Casserole is a hearty, oven-baked dish inspired by the classic French Cordon Bleu. Traditionally, Cordon Bleu features chicken or veal wrapped around ham and cheese, but the casserole version simplifies preparation by layering shredded chicken, diced ham, and Swiss cheese with a creamy sauce, often made from milk, butter, and flour. Topped with breadcrumbs for added crunch, this dish captures the rich flavors of the original while offering greater convenience. Though indulgent, it provides a good source of protein from the chicken and ham. However, its high fat content, due to the cheese and creamy sauce, as well as the carbohydrates from breadcrumbs, may be a concern for those watching calorie intake. Adding vegetables like broccoli or spinach can enhance its nutritional profile. Popular in Western cuisine, this casserole is comfort food at its best, balancing rich flavors with simple preparation.
