Classic Chicken Cordon Bleu is famous for its elegant layers of juicy chicken, savory ham, and melty Swiss cheese. However, traditional recipes often require pounding meat thin, rolling it tightly, breading, and careful frying.
This 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu captures all those iconic, rich flavors with zero tedious prep work. By layering everything into your slow cooker, the chicken cooks up tender and juicy while absorbing the savory depth of ham and creamy Swiss cheese.

The 5 Ingredients

Deli Ham (6 to 8 slices): Honey ham, smoked ham, or Black Forest ham all work great.
-
Swiss Cheese (6 to 8 slices): Provides that signature nutty, creamy melt.
-
Cream of Chicken Soup (1 can / 10.5 oz): Acts as a creamy sauce base that keeps the dish moist while cooking.
-
Stuffing Mix (1 box / 6 oz, such as Chicken or Herb flavor): Creates a flavorful, savory “crust” across the top.
(Optional additions for assembling: 1/4 cup melted butter to drizzle over the stuffing, and a splash of milk or white wine to thin the soup sauce if desired).
