Easy Chicken Cordon Blue Casserole

Created by Kchurchill5 on May 7, 2013

1 pound chicken (boneless skinless chicken breasts)
1 cup cooked ham, diced (leftovers works great, or you can pick up a couple of slices from the deli)
1 small onion, cut in half and thin sliced
1 (11 ounce) can condensed cream chicken soup (low salt)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt

Step 1: Chicken ... Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper; and, let them rest at room temp to take the chill off.
Step 2: Sauce ... Add the soup, sour cream, and parsley, to a small bowl and mix to combine.
Step 3: Chicken ... Spray a casserole dish with a nonstick spray and add the chicken. If you need to cut them to fit, that is fine; I often do that. Then, add the ham, and pour the soup mixture over the top; spreading it out to cover the casserole.
Step 4: Bake ... Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and bake on the middle shelf for 30-40 minutes, uncovered. Cooking times can vary, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Step 5: Finish ... Cracker crumbs can be crushed up in a food processor; or, right in a ziploc bag. Simply use a meat mallet, rolling pin, or the bottom of a heavy pot to crush them. Then, add the parsley and paprika, and mix well. After 20 minutes of cooking; remove from the oven, and add the cheese and and cracker crumbs. Return to the oven, and cook another 10-20 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve and ENJOY! ... It is simple comfort food; and, always a family favorite. As I said, I love to serve white rice on the side; and, maybe a side salad. But, steamed broccoli, or even orzo would be very nice as well.
