CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CASSEROLE – LOW CARB, KETO, EASY


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.

Ingredients

6 cups shredded cooked chicken (from about 2 lb chicken)
6 oz ham , cut into bite size pieces
4 oz butter , melted
6 oz cream cheese , softened
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp white wine , optional
1-2 oz lemon juice (use the full amount if you love lemon - I do)
1/2 tsp salt
5 oz swiss cheese

Instructions

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.
In a blender 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.
Lay the slices of swiss cheese on top of the sauce. Bake for 30-40 minutes until hot.
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

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.
