Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

We had all this leftover ham from Sunday's dinner and Greg told me to find a recipe online with ham in it and try it out. So I found this recipe for a Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole and it turned out to be simple and quite yummy!

Ingredients:
2lb chicken breasts cut into chunks
bread crumbs
1 egg
8oz. swiss cheese, cubed
8oz. ham, diced
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 C milk

Directions:
Whisk together the egg and 1/2 C of milk. Dip chunks of uncooked chicken in egg mixture, then into bread crumbs, coating well. Brown in a little oil until golden. Place chicken chunks in baking dish, add cubes of swiss cheese and small pieces of ham. Mix cream of chicken soup with 1 C milk, mix well and pour over all. (I added some bread crumbs on top as well)
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until tender and bubbly.

Enjoy :)

Pasta sandwiches

We got this idea from Brandon and Laura, and since we are a pasta loving family, we love this idea too!
Cut out the innards of hoagie rolls. Insert warmed pastas and sauces of your choice. Yummy. Last night I made 4 different kinds of pastas and sauces and we had a major noodle night. I think an easier way of doing it would be to save up all the leftover pasta dishes (freezing if necessary) and then dishing them up inside rolls to fancy up the leftovers. Live and learn.
