Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

 You are going to love this Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole!  This is perfect if you’re looking to please a crowd and can easily be doubled or even tripled to take to your next holiday gathering.  My kids get so excited when they see that I bought Swiss cheese because they know what it means!  You are going to LOVE how easy this is to make and your family is absolutely going to rave over it.  When I find chicken breast on sale, I love to cook them ahead of time, chop them up and freeze them.  All you have left to do is layer this all out and pop it in the oven.  I hope your family enjoys one of our favorite family recipes 😀
