This slow-cooker dish is comfort food defined. We took classic chicken cordon bleu and turned it into a seriously delicious pasta casserole. The creamy Alfredo pasta sauce, cheesy ham and chicken, and crispy bread crumb topping will hit the spot on a cold day. It just might be your favorite new dish this winter.
