Your family is going to Love smelling this easy to make weeknight dinner when they walk in the door!

My mom used to make this quite a bit when I was growing up. Add a tossed salad and a steamed vegetable and you have a great dinner that is super simple meal. If you have a busy schedule, you know that getting dinner ready is no small task!

I fact I love that this dish can be assembled first thing in the morning or even the night before and ready to put in the oven.  This dish does take an hour and a half, but then it is ready.

Pop it in at 5 and eat at 6:30. No worries. If you have someone coming home earlier than you, just make sure they know to turn the oven on 350 and set the timer once they put this, still covered in foil casserole in the oven.

I have one of those Pampered Chef baking stone pans with the stone wear lid that I love so use whatever you have. In fact, this can also be put into a dutch oven and go straight from the oven to the table when it is done.

Trying to keep meal time as stress-free as possible, especially on a school night is a great goal to have and a simple dinner that doesn’t create mounds of dishes…or take-out boxes, really helps with balancing time and budget.

Here is what Delish has to say about this recipe.

There is literally only one dirty dish to clean with this recipe.

So Amazing, You Might Want To Get Out Your Best China.

Looking to take chicken to a whole new level without having to spend all day in the kitchen? Look no further.

I have only tried Chicken Cordon Bleu a few times in fancy restaurants. The way the flavors combine is amazing, but I always thought that making it would be way beyond my skill set. I mean how did they get all the yumminess into the chicken before breading it?

I usually have a few recipes that I go to when I find myself in a recipe rut, but this seems like it would be so easy to make because I can make it ahead and have everything cleaned up long before the dinner rush happens.

This casserole is full of flavor without all the fuss! Now, that is something I can handle and so can you! It may seem like a few more steps beyond the “one pan” recipes, but it will be worth the effort when your family feels like they are fine dining right in your own home.

Quick Tip: If you don’t have Panko breadcrumbs you can always toss a few slices of dry toast into your food processor.
