Green beans
Steamed, roasted or sautéed green beans with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper make a delicious and healthy side dish that is fast and easy to prepare while your casserole bakes.
Mashed potatoes
Creamy and buttery mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that goes well with almost any savory dish, including chicken cordon bleu casserole. Garlic cheesy mashed potatoes are a great way to use up any leftover Swiss cheese you may have from the cordon bleu recipe.
Roasted vegetables
Roasted peppers, carrots, zucchini, or asparagus make a tasty and colorful side dish that adds texture and nutrition to your meal. You can even roast frozen vegetables in a pinch! We also like making our asparagus in the slow cooker when making meals for a crowd to free up the oven.
Salad
A fresh and crisp salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and a creamy poppyseed dressing or tangy Greek vinaigrette salad dressing can balance the richness of the casserole and provide a refreshing contrast. You can also pair it with a Caesar salad as well.
Garlic bread
Warm and toasty garlic bread is a great accompaniment to any pasta or casserole dish, and chicken cordon bleu casserole is no exception. Our favorite recipe adds a bit of pesto and parmesan to the garlic bread for extra flavor!
Rice pilaf
Rice pilaf is a flavorful and aromatic rice dish that is made by sautéing rice with onions and other aromatics in butter or oil before adding liquid and simmering until the rice is tender. The liquid can be water or broth, and sometimes additional ingredients like herbs, spices, vegetables, or meat are added for more flavor and texture.
Rice pilaf is a versatile side dish that pairs well with cordon bleu casserole and can be customized to suit different tastes and dietary preferences.
Roasted Potatoes
Roasted potatoes are an easy side for most any meal and this casserole is no exception. This simple crispy roast potatoes recipe can be made in the oven alongside the casserole and you can make it your own by playing with the seasonings you use!
Broccoli
Broccoli is probably the side dish we serve the most alongside chicken cordon bleu casserole. I love this easy Italian broccoli recipe that can be made on the stovetop so there is no need to interrupt the casserole baking in the oven.
Brussels sprouts
Brussels sprouts are great for adding a healthy side to cordon bleu casserole. My favorite way of preparing them is this brown sugar brussels sprouts recipe that will win over even the pickiest eaters!
Pasta
Serving the casserole over pasta is the perfect way to take advantage of that cheesy sauce. Serve over angel hair, penne, or your favorite pasta to make the meal more filling.
