Good Thursday everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your week. A couple cool things for you….
First, is this great weeknight dinner idea. Easy and family friendly is always a plus in my book. I took one of my favorite dishes, Chicken Cordon Bleu and turned it into an easy to put together casserole. Trust me, the whole family will love this cheesy rice dinner. Enjoy! Oh, and check out my newest article I wrote for the 3-A-Day folks featured on Shine.com and Gather.com, I’m having so much fun with them.
Cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu Rice Casserole
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 clove fresh garlic, minced
½ lb diced ham
2 Cups cooked shredded chicken breast
4 Tablespoons butter
¼ Cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
14 oz can chicken broth
3 Cups cooked rice of choice (I used white long grain)
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 Cup shredded mozzarella or swiss cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil into a large 5 qt rimmed skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, ham and chicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Melt butter then stir in flour, salt and pepper until combined. Slowly stir in chicken broth until well combined. Stir in cooked rice then transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cover the dish with foil the last 10 minutes for oozing cheese.
6-8 servings

I Love POM! Especially the real fruit when it comes out in the fall I always stock up!
What a coincidence, I just bought me a pomegranate yesterday! I love the website, we tried the banana spice muffins the other day and they were gone in an instant. Where do I find cinnamon chips? I live in Utah but have not found them yet. Anyway, thanks for the great recipes!
POM’s the best and I can never afford it! Pick me
I need some Pom Juice for sure!

I’ll give it a go. Who wouldn’t love red juice in a gorgeous little bottle?
Great idea turning it into a casserole you’re so creative! I’m probably the only person, but I still haven’t tried the POM juice…how sad is that?!?!
Great product and I’d love to win the coupons!
That cheesy rice dish looks SO good! That’s one I’ll have to add to my list of recipes to try.
The casserole looks awesome. You are indeed creative, i’d have never thought of taking the cordon bleu ingredients and making a casserole out of them. That is, of course, why I read YOUR blog. (grin)
POM is a wonderful thing. I’d love to win.

As interested as I am in winning stuff, I’m much more interested in that casserole. That looks amazing, I want some right now.
Mmmm. I love POM!
Pom-tini’s are the best! Pick me!
What a great casserole for the rainy day we are having in NJ. This one includes all our favorites – chicken, ham, and cheese. I’ll be adding this to my recipe file.

I love your blog. Thanks for sharing great recipes. You are the greatest!!!!!
My oldest boy’s favorite food is Chicken Cordon Bleu and my youngest’s favorite food is Rice. . . any kind of rice. So THIS is the perfect combination.
Fantastic.
Anything with the words “cheesy” “Chicken” “Cordon Bleu” and “Casserole” has to be fabulous. This looks like something my hubby and 4 boys would devour! Thanks.
I’d love to try some of the POM!
Hooray! I would love to try some juice
Can’t wait to try that recipe! My dh loves cordon blue, but it’s a pain to make!
