Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
/I really like chicken cordon bleu, but this casserole version is a lot easier to prepare! I just heat up a vegetable like green beans or peas to go along with it and dinner is ready!
It took awhile to work this one out. I went through several variations until settling on this final recipe. I use rice as the base because some people in my household don’t do well with gluten. I have a friend who prefers it over noodles and I bet that is delicious too!
