Chicken Cordon Blue Pasta

Ingredients:

8 ounce softened cream cheese

1 package of chicken tenders cut into 1 inch pieces

1/2 small onion, diced

6 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup ham, diced

3/4 cup bacon, cooked and diced

12 ounce penne pasta, cooked

several slices of seedless rye bread cut into bite size pieces

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

parsley

2 cups heavy cream, plus more

2 cups gruyere and swiss blend cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cook pasta according to directions.

Cook chicken and diced onion in about 3-4 tablespoons butter. Salt and pepper chicken

Melt the cream cheese in a saucepan, then add in 2 cups cream and combine well, then add in 1 cup of the cheese.

Melt a few tablespoons butter. Pour over bread cubes. Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and some parsley. Stir together and set to the side.

In a greased casserole dish layer the cooked pasta, then the chicken, then the diced ham and diced bacon, pour over the cream cheese sauce, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and top with bread.

If you believe there is not enough sauce just pour more heavy cream in. I choose to do this.

I placed in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. It should be bubbling. Test a bread cube to see if it is crispy. If it's not the set the broiler on for a few minutes.

Serve with a salad

Kelsey's Pub and Restaurant Thanksgiving

Kelsey's was one of the few places selling a Thanksgiving for 2 and it was only $75. It came with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing with sausage, green bean casserole gravy, cranberry sauce, and rolls with a honey butter. I ordered an additional apple pie too. It was a perfect amount and I managed to get everything reheated ready to eat in 1 hour.
