Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna

Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna is a creamy, savory twist on the classic dish—layered with tender chicken, smoky ham, Swiss cheese, and lasagna noodles, all baked in a rich, velvety sauce.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • cups warm milk
  • cups cooked chicken chopped
  • 8 ounces deli ham chopped
  • ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese for topping
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • 1 pinch Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Boil salted water in a large pot. Cook lasagna noodles until al dente, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and stir until mostly melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt, onion powder, and pepper. Gradually whisk in warm milk until smooth. Stir in 1½ cups Swiss cheese until melted and thick. Remove from heat.
  • Spread ¾ cup sauce in the baking dish. Add a third of the noodles, half the chicken and ham, then pour 1 cup of sauce over.
  • Add half the remaining noodles, the rest of the chicken and ham, and another cup of sauce. Top with final noodles and remaining sauce.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup Swiss cheese, then breadcrumbs. Finish with a pinch of Italian seasoning.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Let sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing to keep layers intact.
