Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

I tried a similar recipe on the back of the Stove Top box and did not cook the chicken prior to adding it to the casserole. (Or Hotdish as we say in the Midwest...) The chicken turned out nice and tender. So I'd say no, there is no need to grill or cook the chicken before hand. The baking time should take care of it.

I have the same issue as the last reviewer. Do you cook the chicken prior to putting it in the casserole??? Most of Kraft's recipes say to do so and this one doesn't say anything. I'm not going to be happy if the chicken isn't cooked thoroughly in the casserole.

Loved. This will now go into the dinner choice rotation:) I chopped the broccoli to help my husband eat the greens that he typically doesn't eat. A lot of the flavor comes from the seasoning in the stuffing mix. I'll season the chicken with Italian or Greek Seasoning next time. PS. To cut the cook time I used my Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker and cooked this in the microwave for about 12 min and then threw it in the oven for about 15 min to make the stuffing crunchy on top.

Our family loved this recipe! We did use Italian marinade chicken, and the kids didn't like all the broccoli (the adults did). We will definitely make this again. Keeper!

I was not a fan of this casserole. Except for the stuffing, it was bland. I will say, however, my husband did like it.
