Chicken Cordon Bleu Bake

Another great recipe I found at Cassie Craves. That girl knows what I like to eat!

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU BAKE

2 cups cooked chopped chicken (about 2 large boneless breasts)

8 ounces diced ham

1 can cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup sour cream

salt and pepper to taste

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

1 box stuffing mix for chicken

butter and water called for on stuffing box

Cook stuffing according to package directions; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine chicken, ham, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Go light on the salt, since the cream of chicken soup and ham are pretty salty on their own.)

Pour mixture into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.

Sprinkle cheese evenly over the chicken mixture. Carefully add stuffing in an even layer on top of the cheese.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Yield: about 6 servings

Mexican Chicken Ravioli Casserole

School is keeping me very busy, so I haven't had time to try many new recipes. Here's one that we really liked. It's a similar concept to this Mexican Ravioli Bake that I've made before.

MEXICAN CHICKEN RAVIOLI CASSEROLE

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup green salsa
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15 ounce) can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
2/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 (9 ounce) packages refrigerated chicken ravioli
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or other)

In one bowl, mix soup, salsa and cumin.

In another bowl, mix beans, tomatoes and cilantro.

Layer 1/3 cup of soup mixture in bottom of a lightly greased 9 inch baking dish. Arrange one third of ravioli over soup mixture. Top with one-third of bean mixture, one third of remaining soup mixture and 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat layers of ravioli, bean mixture, soup mixture and cheese twice. (That's the directions from the original recipe. Mine did not come out firm enough to cut in squares and see the layers, so next time, I'll just mix it all in a big bowl first.)

Bake covered with foil at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes or until bubbly at edges. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
