Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu
If you are looking for a really flavorful yet super simple recipe for dinner then I urge you to give this recipe for Chicken Cordon Bleu made in the slow cooker a try. It was a HUGE hit with the family and I was told by all to put this in the “cook again” recipe file.
The only thing I would have done differently in this recipe is use smaller chicken breasts. The ones I used were HUGE and were a bit much to eat. If you look at the picture you can see that these were some big chicken breasts!
I know that many people shirk at recipes that call for “cream of” soups, but I find that there are times that it is worth using them. Chicken is one of those meats that just does not get more tender the more you cook it in the crock-pot. It just gets drier. The key to cooking chicken in the crock-pot is to cook it with liquid, and this cream of chicken soup & milk mixture does the trick there, and then make sure you don’t overcook your chicken. I would check chicken at the lower point of the time range given and only cook longer if your chicken is not cooked through. But it really should be.
I hope you enjoy!

This looks scrumptuous and so easy. I’ll be doing it in my solar oven, before long. Crock pot cooking is so easily transferred to the solar oven and you have such wonderful recipes. Thanks for sharing. Come visit when you can.
I made this Sunday for lunch. It was Fabulous!!!!!!!!!
That is Awesome Bambi, thanks for letting us know how much you enjoyed this recipe!
If I needed it to be in longer because of work schedule, would it be ok? More like 9 hours on low?
If your slow cooker is programmable and automatically flips to the warm setting after cooking this should keep OK for several hours on WARM after it is cooked. You may also want to try using chicken thighs instead of breasts as they can cook for a longer time without drying out the way chicken breasts can.
Made last night for dinner. Was so good. Can’t wait to eat leftovers for lunch today. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe Michelle!
What are your thoughts about substituting panko for the stuffing? I don’t care much for boxed stuffing and the spices are NOT in regular cordon bleu. I would eliminate the water.
Thanks for your recipes!
While I have never tested this recipe using panko bread crumbs instead of the boxed stuffing mix it may work. If you test it out please come on back and let us all know how it turned out for you!
What changes would you make for using frozen chicken breasts? Longer cooking time?
I have not made this recipe with frozen chicken breasts but I am pretty sure it would be OK. I would cook maybe 30-60 minutes longer to allow for the frozen chicken. Let us know how it turns out for you Emma!
I tried this today with frozen chicken breasts. It’s been on low for about 4 hours and is already up to temp! Just thought I would share for those that want to do it with frozen.
Good to know Amanda!
I made this last night. It was likely the tastiest dish to ever come out of my crock pot. Thank you!
Awesome Caleb, I am thrilled you enjoyed it!
Made this tonight! So awesome! It’s a keeper!
Happy you enjoyed the recipe Marlisa!
I found this recipe on pinterest and said to myself “finally an easy slow cooker that is as easy as it claims (and it looked so scrumptious too!!!)” So I decided to try it today to make for lunch for the rest of the week (I’m a teacher so this is a must) and it was quite good. My husband enjoyed it as well, even though it was not for him lol. The only thing is that I accidently put cooked it on high instead of low like I wanted and the chicken wasn’t dry but still not juicy. Next time I will pay attention đŸ™‚
I am trying this tonight, my family are not lovers of anything that comes out of a crock pot so keeping my fingers crossed on this one, looks yummy
Making this tonight for dinner. Can’t wait to try it đŸ™‚
Would this work as well in a slow cooker as in a crock pot?
Yes it would.
I made this Saturday night and thought my fiance was skeptical about the stuffing mix part of it, he LOVED it. Thank you!
I tried a similar recipe but it calle for cubed ham. I think sliced would work MUCH better and love the idea of adding stuffing.
This was absolutely delicious!
What type of honey ham would you use for this recipe? From the deli counter? and how many pounds should I buy of the ham? And how many pounds of cheese. Thanks so much!
You can buy your ham at the deli counter or even just packages of it in the deli section of the store.
The recipe calls for 4 oz. of ham and 4 oz of cheese. So you don’t need pounds of it. Just 4 oz.
This looks so easy and delicious! This is whats for dinner tomorrow. I really enjoy crock pot recipes as it makes dinner time much easier. Thank you for sharing and all of the positive comments!
I made this for supper and we thought it was pretty good. I cooked it on high, and during the third hour of cooking, it went from not done to overcooked. I would make this again, but I think I’d do it on low. Thank you for the great idea!
I’m a truck driver I cook a lot in my truck with my slow cooker chicken cordon blue thank you for sharing your recipe it was absolutely delicious
So glad you enjoyed this recipe Don! Keep on truckin! I think I am going to have to research some truck driver recipes for you hard working men and women who keep this nation going!
Has anyone made this subbing in leftover shredded chicken? I’m going to try it today with rotisserie leftovers.
I have to prepare a meal for a large group of people (50-60) and do not have enough crockpots.. Can you tell me how to adjust this recipe for the oven?
Thank you!
I would probably bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes to 1 hour (for these exact measurements of ingredients). If you are adjusting the recipe to feed more then you would need to adjust the cooking time.
I don’t like stuffing mix. Thought I might try crushed Ritz Crackers, instead.
If you try Ritz crackers instead of the stuffing mix be sure to come on back and let us know how it turns out for you Lisa!
It says to serve with vegetables, I was wondering if you could put some vegetables (maybe corn, broccoli, green beans) right in with it?
This recipe hasn’t been tested with vegetables in it, so I can’t say how it would turn out. You could definitely try it out though! Let us know how you like it!
Had anyone added honey mustard to this? I’ve always known of cordon bleu having honey mustard. Was curious of feedback on this? Either way this dish sounds amazing!
I am planning on making this tonight, but I want to cut up and cook the chicken first, do you recommend this
Hi Connie, I think it might work (but obviously we have not tested this method). If you are using cut up and cooked chicken you may need to cook the dish for a little less time to avoid overcooking your chicken.
If you give it a try be sure to come back and let us know how it turned out for you!
