Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

I found this recipe in a Kroger ad (one of our local grocery stores here in Nashville).  I've made it twice in the past 3 weeks- it's a keeper!  I've lightened it up a bit and changed some things based on our taste. 

You will need:

• 1 cup low fat (or fat free) sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups instant rice, uncooked (I used instant brown rice which worked fine)
• 20 oz. cooked, diced chicken breast (I used the pre-cooked frozen kind, but that is rather expensive.  You can certainly cook your own chicken for this recipe.)
• 4 1/2 oz. thin sliced deli ham, cut into small pieces
• 6 oz. reduced fat sliced swiss cheese, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup corn flakes, crushed
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Whisk together sour cream, chicken broth, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.

Add rice, chicken, ham, and swiss cheese; stir until combined.

Pour mixture into a 13x9 baking dish and spread evenly.

Mix together crushed corn flakes, parmesan cheese, and melted butter in a small bowl.  Sprinkle evenly over top of casserole. 

Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until heated through and topping is golden brown.
