Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

This recipe is fabulous for so many reasons. Given, it's a cheesy tasty meal that just melts in your mouth. But also, when I make a ham I have no idea what to do with the leftovers. Second, you can make this recipe and freeze it for later. And it turns out great the second time around too! I love gluten free freezer meals.

I have made this with and without broccoli, and the broccoli just makes it! Not only is it more healthy that way, but it's so much better with it! But try it both ways and decide for yourself.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

2 cups chicken (cooked and cubed)
2 cups ham (cooked and cubed)
1 can evaporated milk
4.5 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 bag frozen broccoli florets
1 c mozzarella cheese
2 c swiss cheese

Whisk the cream cheese until broken up, then slowly add the milk while continuing to whisk. Pour over chicken and ham. Add the mozzarella and 1c of the swiss. Add the broccoli. Mix it all together. Pour into a 9x13 pan, or divide into 2 8x8 pans. If you're freezing these, use foil pans (which also saves on dishes later). Top with the remaining 1 c of swiss cheese.

To cook immediately bake at 350 for 30 minutes. If you freeze, you can thaw it in the fridge and bake like previously mentioned, or place it directly in the oven and cook for 45-60 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes and serve over rice.
