Today’s recipe is one I found back in 2008 from Blogging, It’s What’s for dinner! It was a recipe sounded interesting to me, Chicken Cordon Bleu in a pasta form. At the time, I was thinking this pasta also looked quick and simple. It’s definitely turned into a keeper.
The Monterrey Jack Cheese and sour cream gave this sauce the right degree of tanginess. There is also a couple cans of cream of chicken soup as part of the base. It helps make a creamy and flavorful sauce. I do like to add some milk to this sauce, otherwise it turns out quite thick.
Instead of putting the sauce over the pasta, I just toss it all together before serving. Use whatever small pasta you like. I used penne.
This recipe is a good one to use up any leftover ham you may end up with from Easter. This dish uses both cooked chicken and ham. That’s how it makes cordon bleu pasta.
Here is what you need to make the

This recipe sounds great & im going to try it for my sister’s birthday dinner.. the only thing im curious about is how many chicken breasts equaled one cup for you?
Delicious. This is going on my regular menu.
Wow, this is so right up my alley so I will have to wait until I cook it just for me. I am the ONLY one who loves a white cream sauce.
That sounds great! I love chicken cordon bleu, and this looks like a much easier preparation, with the same good taste! How awesome.
This sounds very good and it looks so creamy. I love chickne Cordon Bleu. I will let you know how it goes.
