Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna
Coming in at a fraction of the carbs compared to a traditional chicken cordon bleu, this iconic dish got a keto makeover that is blue ribbon worthy.
Do you know that a breaded cordon bleu recipe can have as many as 46 total carbs per serving? Those breaded cutlets and the creamy sauce thickened with flour just make it prohibitive when doing a keto diet.
Thankfully, this is not only an easy keto chicken cordon bleu lasagna; it has only 4.2 net carbs per serving and 23.9 total fat, allowing it to fit your keto macros effortlessly.

Keto “Bread “Crumb Topping
In this recipe for keto chicken cordon bleu lasagna, I substituted the traditional bread topping with almond flour and a parmesan cheese combo.
Alternatively, you can swap out the almond flour for crushed pork rinds if you prefer to avoid nuts.
I then added Italian seasoning and salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes before mixing it all well.
How To Make Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna
Making the keto chicken cordon bleu lasagna is pretty straightforward.
Enjoy the delicious flavors of chicken cordon bleu but without the hassle of assembling individual chicken rolls.
You’ll start by cooking your chicken breasts in a large pot over medium heat on your stovetop. To do so, place the chicken pieces on the bottom of a large pot and season with salt and pepper.
Then, cover the chickens with enough water so that they are submerged.
Bring the water to a low simmer and cook for about 10–15 minutes until the chicken turns opaque and is fully cooked through or reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
Drain the chicken and shred it. I shredded my chicken in a stand-up mixer. It’s the quickest way.
Keto Creamy Cheese Sauce
To make the cream sauce, you’ll melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat.
Then add to the melted butter the heavy whipping cream, parmesan cheese, cream cheese, prepared mustard, and paprika.
Lower the heat and allow the ingredients to melt and fully combine while stirring your pot.
Once the sauce is prepared, set it aside.
Keto Bread Topping
To make the “bread” crumb topping, combine the almond flour or crushed pork rinds, grated parmesan cheese, Italian spices, sea salt, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set it aside.
Assembling The Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna
To assemble the lasagna, begin by preheating the oven to 350°F.

Generously butter a 13×9-inch baking pan.
I then recommend you slice each Crepini wrap in half to make it easier to layer.
Next, to the prepared 13×9 well-baking dish, add 1/4 cup of the cheesy, creamy Dijon sauce and spread it evenly.
Arrange 1/2 of the wraps over the sauce, and spread half the cooked shredded chicken and ham over the wraps.
Then, pour half of the cheese sauce over the chicken and ham.
Repeat layers, starting with the remaining wraps, the remaining chicken and ham, and the remaining cheese sauce.
Finish the lasagna by adding the shredded Swiss cheese and then topping it with the keto bread crumbs.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbling and the top is lightly brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna With Crepini Egg Thins
The first time I tried Crepini Egg Thins, I knew I had a super easy hack to bring pasta-tasting lasagna back into our family with a recipe that even non-keto folks would embrace.
All it took was slightly tweaking my lasagna recipes to make it a delicious, easy lasagna “noodle” option.
There is no denying that if you’re a fan of pasta and doing keto, missing pasta can make it quite challenging to stay committed. But that no longer has to be the case.
Not only will using cauliflower egg thins in place of lasagna noodles keep you on track, but it’s a ridiculously easy option since there is no need to boil the noodles.
What Are Crepini Egg Thins?
Not familiar with Crepini egg wraps? They are premade, packaged crepes made with eggs and cauliflower powder.
By using eggs and cauliflower powder in their crepes they have found a way to have a zero net carb, pliable, wrap.
It’s basically, a crepe that gains its structure from the added cauliflower powder.
But if you cannot easily source Crepini wraps you can use any egg white wrap in its place. Using Egglife is a great option, too.
Where Can You Buy Crepini Egg Wraps?
You can find Crepini wraps in many retailers such as Publix, Costco, and Walmart. They are even available for purchase on Amazon.
I recommend you visit their site to find a location near you. I know they are always expanding where you can purchase their wraps.
Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna With Rotisserie Chicken
To shave some extra cooking time you can make this lasagna with pre-cooked cooked rotisserie chicken. You could also use leftover chicken!
Knowing you have the option to bring a delicious meal quickly to the table is reason enough to consider using pre-cooked chicken and to keto meal plan accordingly.
