Sloppy? Yes. Delicious? Yes. I did the breaded chicken part. However, I cooked some non-breaded chicken chunks with onion and garlic in a skillet. Added that to the baking dish. Put in 10 oz of swiss plus about 4 oz of Velveeta because I had it on hand. With about 10 minutes left in the bake time I added a layer of raw/dry package stuffing for crunch. Perfect. Getting up for thirds now.

I totally cheated on this one. I used 20 breaded chicken tenders and cooked them ahead. While they were cooking I chopped up the ham and cheese. Making sure to cut everything about the same size. I also try and make sure that all the pieces are evenly dispersed cause I don't like big huge chunks of cheese all clumped together. I used a 9 x 13 pan since the size wasn't mentioned. I used half fat-free sour cream and half milk, like others have suggested. I did not have the problem of this being too runny, infact it could have helped to be runny since I served this over bow tie pasta. Would have made for more sauce that way. This barely fed 5 people. No way 8 people would be happy with the portion size. Make sure to use low sodium chicken soup. Super easy to do and throw together, especially with the breaded chicken tenders.

after reading all the reviews i decided to not switch things but make it more for my family. we are trying to eat healthier now so we did not coat and fry the chicken. we just cooked the chicken in the pan and then cubed it up. because ham is a natura water "holder" i quickly cooked the ham in a pan first to drain most of the water out of it. i used low sodium cream of chicken soup. i put 1/2 cup of milk with the soup instead of 1 cup. i put 1/2 cup cheese in the mix and 1/2 cup on top. then coverd with a small amount of breadcrumbs. the casserole was not runny at all and tasted very good! the only complaint i have it that this recipe says for 8 people. i have a family of 4. my husband and daughter eat quite a bit and this casserole only covered the 4 of us. depending on what you call a serving size, i would double up on the ingredients if you have more than 4 people in your family. thanks to everyone who put in suggestions!!

Very good, I grilled the chicken and then added some frozen peas and only used 3/4 cup milk. Was a little watery so will prob use less milk or more soup next time.

Very salty and does not taste like cordon bleu. I made it twice changing the recipes to make it less salty but it was still too salty for my taste. Will probably not make again.

I made this last night for dinner, and my sweet hubby couldn't stop eating it! In fact, he begged me to make it again. I did modify the recipe. I used a can of cream of mushroom soup instead of the ckix kind, left out the ham, added 1/2 a sautéed red onion and used 2% cheese cubed. Didn't need as much milk as the recipe called for, but I can't tell you how much I used exactly - just made sure it didn't look "soupy" before it went into the oven. Will def add this one to the rotation!!

This was great, everyone loved it. I made changes including a few tablespoons of dijon mustard, stirfried the bare-not-breaded chicken, used sliced swiss over the casserole and under a buttered cracker crumb top. Due to the "runny" comments, I started the casserole with a layer of rice and the whole thing turned out perfect. Its a keeper, thank you.

I added potatoes to mine to have something else in the casserole to absorb some of the juices and flavors. It was very good! Breading the chicken does seem like a lot of work for an otherwise simple casserole, so I may skip that next time and just do a crumb topping like some other reviewers have suggested.
