I haven’t made chicken cordon bleu in ages. I love the taste, but it’s SO much work! This was every bit as yummy, and practically effortless! 

 

Slow Cooker Cordon Bleu

 

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup

1 cup milk

4 ounces ham, sliced and coarsely chopped

4 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced and coarsely chopped

1 box Stovetop stuffing mix (We used chicken, but savory herb and sage work, too.)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup water

 

In a small bowl, combine butter, water and stuffing mix. Gently stir, then dump in one side of slow cooker. In a bowl whisk together soup and milk until combined. Pour half the soup/milk mixture in the other side of slow cooker. Arrange chicken breasts on top of the soup mixture. Top chicken with ham and Swiss, then pour remaining soup/milk mixture over. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. About half an hour before serving, shred chicken with two forks and return to cooker. We served ours with a side of roasted Brussel sprouts.
