Slow Cooker Mushroom Chicken Cordon Bleu

I adore using the slow cooker in the winter months, well, actually all year long but in the winter I can make an easy and hearty meal that my family will love. Today I give you a Slow Cooker Mushroom Chicken Cordon Bleu. A delicious masterpiece of a weekday meal. It is actually very easy, just a little forward thinking is all it takes.

I love a meal that is made in the slow cooker that has it’s own delicious gravy. So easy to make and so easy to serve. This meal would go so nicely on egg noodles or even rice.

The chicken gets nice and tender when it is slowly cooked and the delicious black forest ham and swiss cheese in the center adds so much flavor.

All of this is smothered in a beautiful mushroom gravy and all made so simple in your slow cooker.
