Crockpot chicken cordon bleu

This is a new creation

That we were all chomping at the bit to eat more of!

This is for sure going to be a new staple/favorite around here

for whenever ham is on sale (or leftover from the holiday!)

I tried some before I left for Zumba

(I make dinner in the crockpot, for my family to eat while I am working out, then I eat when I get home!)

and I just wanted to keep eating it

It was THAT good!

Mmmm…

I even put all the ingredients in frozen

(on par for me)

and in a few hours,

it came together beautifully!

I think I may prefer this to regular

Chicken Cordon Bleu

and that has been a favorite of mine

since I was little!

Crockpot chicken cordon bleu Ingredients

1 lb of chicken, cubed (or you could shred it later, but I liked it cubed)
8oz cube of Cream Cheese – 1/3 reduced fat for us
1/2 cup Sour Cream – reduced fat for us
1/4 lb Swiss Cheese, or 1/2 cup Alfredo Sauce
1/4 lb Ham or 5-6 slices of ham lunch meat

Directions –

Put all ingredients in Slow cooker. Cook on high 4 hrs, low 8 hrs. Done! I stirred it after a couple of hours, since I put it all in frozen 🙂

I would have used swiss when I made it tonight, but I was using the alfredo for another recipe this week, so I figured it was open, so why not use that? It was DELICIOUS! It would be equally as good with either 🙂 I mean they are both excellent choices

As for the Ham, I just had a leftover hunk in the freezer from the last holiday. I tossed that in frozen. It just defrosted and shredded as it cooked. I think it was probably about a 1/4-1/2 lb chunk. It was good!

Crockpot chicken cordon bleu – while it was cooking. It thickened up a bit later in the process, but it was cooked through at this stage, if you want a thinner sauce, just turn it off early!
