CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CASSEROLE (COOKING WITH PAULA DEEN MAGAZINE)
From Cooking with Paula Deen Magazine, March/April 2011. This is how the magazine described the dish: This casserole has all the flavors of Chicken Cordon Bleu--chicken, ham, and cheese--without all that messy rolling and stuffing! We liked the dish, though it wasn't as creamy as we expected. I followed the recipe as written (copied original recipe below) but added a handful of shredded cheddar cheese to the top of the casserole when it was done and baked for another couple of minutes until the cheese was melted. I also used more ham than the recipe called for because I needed to use up the leftovers. Cook time in my over was about 1 hour for the rice to be tender (recipe calls for 45 minutes).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the flour and whisk together for about 1 minute, this will allow the flour to cook just a little before adding the other ingredients. Add the sour cream and milk, and continue whisking until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and add all but ½ cup of the cheese. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, cooked chicken, and cooked pasta. Stir together, then layer evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the casserole and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Remove the casserole and let it sit for about 15 minutes prior to serving.
CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CASSEROLE
I love this casserole. I also love the fact that it doesn't use any "cream of" soups. Plan in advance - the dish must be prepared and refrigerated for two hours and then sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking. I got this wonderful recipe from Paula Deen's magazine.
