    Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)

    What's the difference between chicken Kiev and Cordon Bleu?

    The biggest difference between chicken Kiev and Cordon Bleu is that chicken bleu includes ham and chicken kiev typically does not.

    Can I add any fresh vegetables?

    Yes, fresh or frozen broccoli, mushrooms and onion are great additions to this easy casserole recipe. Use about two cups of vegetables. If you're using frozen broccoli, thaw it first.

    Can I substitute milk for sour cream?

    No, I don't recommend substituting milk for the sour cream. It will make the casserole too watery.

      Chicken Cordon Bleu has always been my go-to order at fancier restaurants. I have never been ambitious enough to try making my own at home--but I think I may try my hand at making chicken cordon bleu casserole!
