Ingredients

  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 6 oz)
  • 1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small 6×6-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: If the chicken breast is thick, slice it horizontally to create two thinner pieces. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Once cooked, cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: In the prepared baking dish, layer the chopped chicken, Swiss cheese, and pour the sauce mixture evenly over the top.
  6. Top with Breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the casserole for a crispy topping.
  7. Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the sauce is bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
  8. Serve: Let the casserole cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your single-serving Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole!

Notes

  • Cheese Variations: You can swap Swiss cheese for mozzarella, provolone, or cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Add Vegetables: Include steamed broccoli, spinach, or peas to increase the nutrition and color.
  • Low-Carb Option: Skip the breadcrumbs or use a low-carb alternative for a keto-friendly dish.
