Creamy low-fat Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole made with Greek yogurt and light cream of chicken soup. Easy, cheesy comfort food the whole family loves.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded or rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cooked ham diced
- 2 10.5-oz can low-fat cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cups swiss or gruyere cheese shredded
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- fresh parsley
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
- ½ cup sauteed mushrooms
- 1 cup peas or carrots
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary
Noodle Choices (Optional)
- 8 oz cooked egg noodles
- 8 oz cooked rotini or penne
- whole wheat or gluten free noodles all work beautifully!
Crispy Breadcrumb Topping (Optional but Highly Recommended)
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs or panko
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tbsp parmesan cheese grated, optional
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).Grease a 9×13 casserole dish lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together low-fat cream of chicken soup, Greek yogurt, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
- Spread half of the sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Add chicken, ham, and then your preferred noodles (if using).
- Sprinkle in your veggies — broccoli, mushrooms, peas — whatever you love.
- Top with the rest of the sauce. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
For the crispy breadcrumb topping
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs, melted butter, Parmesan (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole. If you want extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
- 💡 Tip:For an even lighter topping, reduce breadcrumbs to ⅓ cup and skip the butter—spritz lightly with cooking spray instead.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving — this helps the casserole set and makes slicing easier. Garnish with fresh parsley, cracked black pepper, or even a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
