Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Maybe if I only ate salads, exercised all day long and never ate anything indulgent like this casserole, I could have the same confidence that my naked 3 year old has 🙂 But nah…it’s not worth it. The reason I exercise every day is mainly so I can eat more food every day.

For me, a 3 mile run is worth it if I can enjoy a creamy, delicious dish like this Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole for dinner. Every one of my kids LOVED this dinner and that rarely happens. With six kids, odds are that at least one of them will turn up their nose at it. Not the case here.

If you would rather not use a rotisserie chicken, feel free to use any other form of cooked chicken, but be sure it is well seasoned when you cook it. I just can’t pass up those delicious $5 rotisseries at Sam’s Club when I am in a rush. Convenience is worth it sometimes!
