Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole (Cooking With Paula Deen Magazine) image

From Cooking with Paula Deen Magazine, March/April 2011. This is how the magazine described the dish: This casserole has all the flavors of Chicken Cordon Bleu--chicken, ham, and cheese--without all that messy rolling and stuffing! We liked the dish, though it wasn't as creamy as we expected. I followed the recipe as written (copied original recipe below) but added a handful of shredded cheddar cheese to the top of the casserole when it was done and baked for another couple of minutes until the cheese was melted. I also used more ham than the recipe called for because I needed to use up the leftovers. Cook time in my over was about 1 hour for the rice to be tender (recipe calls for 45 minutes).
