Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

  • 10-12 oz. penne or ziti pasta
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
  • ½ tsp. onion powder, more or less to taste
  • ½ tsp. garlic salt, more or less to taste
  • 2 cups shredded swiss cheese, separated
  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked with garlic salt and a little paprika and chunked
  • ¾ cup bacon, cooked and chopped
  • ¾ cup diced ham
  • Panic bread crumbs
  • Butter
Instructions
  1. Cook pasta according to its package's directions. Drain. I always add a little olive oil after I drain it and stir in around so the pasta noodles don't stick together or the pot.
  2. Heat cream cheese on stove over medium low heat until melted. Stir in heavy cream. Stir until completely combined. Add onion powder and garlic salt until it tastes how you would like it to. Stir 1 cup of cheese until smooth consistency.
  3. In a 9x13, layer noodles, chicken, bacon and ham. Pour sauce over top. Sprinkle top with ½ cup cheese and Panko bread crumbs that have been browned in some butter.  
  4. I actually made this without the bacon or the ham and threw in some spinach.  It was yummy!
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until heated through.
