Keto Dinner | Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

My Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole will knock your socks off. It is so much easier than a traditional rolled and breaded cordon bleu and has even more flavor. This has chicken, ham, and swiss in a creamy dijon sauce. Since you aren’t breading or stuffing the chicken it is quick and easy.

This was a hit with my family. I wasn’t sure if the kids would like the swiss cheese (honestly, I’m not a huge swiss cheese fan) but it worked so well with this flavor combination there were no complaints.

Chicken cordon bleu is usually lightly breaded and the creamy sauce is thickened with flour. When I turned it into a casserole I knew I would need to figure out a way to thicken the sauce enough to coat all of the ingredients and help them stick together. Enter Xanthan gum. It is a low carb alternative to flour for thickening sauces and thanks to all of the diets out there that don’t allow grains you can find it in most grocery stores. If yours doesn’t have it you can always get it on Amazon here.

Making the low carb chicken cordon bleu casserole itself is pretty easy it’s just a matter of a little patience while you create the rich creamy dijon sauce. Then you toss together some cauliflower that has been cooked just enough to be tender, and fully cooked ham and chicken with the sauce and spread it into a greased casserole dish. It bakes covered in a 400 degree F oven for about 20 minutes then you remove the foil and let it finish cooking so the Parmesan cheese on top (who needs bread crumbs when you have Parmesan?!) gets golden brown.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp white wine (optional)
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 5 oz swiss cheese
• 6 oz ham cut into bite size pieces
• 4 oz butter melted
• 6 oz cream cheese softened
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 6 cups shredded cooked chicken (from about 2 lb chicken)

Instructions

1. First, Preheat the oven to 350. Put the chicken in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Layer the pieces of ham on top.
2. Second, In a large bowl with an electric mixer combine the melted butter, softened cream cheese, white wine (if using), mustard, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until a thick sauce forms. Spread this sauce over the chicken and ham in the baking dish.
3. Next, Lay the slices of swiss cheese on top of the sauce. Bake for 30-40 minutes until hot.
4. I broiled it for 2 minutes at the end so the cheese would get more golden and bubbly. If you decided to do that do not leave it unattended. It's very easy to burn the cheese topping.

Recipe Notes

• Make sure to check out the video of this recipe right about the recipe card!
• If you have a bottle of dry white wine open it adds a nice flavor. But I wouldn't open a new bottle just for this recipe. Unless you are planning on having a glass while you cook.
• If your shredded chicken is on the dry side you may want to double the amount of sauce or add in 1/4 cup of chicken broth and mix the sauce into the shredded chicken before adding the toppings.
• You can use chicken tenderloins instead of shredded chicken. Just cook, drain the cooking liquid, and then proceed with the rest of the recipe.
