How To Make a Keto Cordon Bleu Casserole
I wanted to recreate the delicious flavors of chicken cordon bleu without the hassle of assembling individual chicken rolls.
Frankly, who has time for that? We all live busy lives, and whenever we can cut corners, I say si, por favor! (yes, please).
To prepare this delicious casserole, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a large 12×12-inch baking dish. For the sauce, melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat.
Once melted, add softened cream cheese and the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Stir the mixture constantly until all ingredients are well combined and melted, then set the sauce aside to thicken as it cools.
Next, assemble the casserole by carefully layering the shredded cooked chicken (preferably leftover rotisserie chicken) in the bottom of the baking dish. Then, cover the chicken with the slices of thinly sliced ham, ensuring it is completely covered.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and ham, reserving one cup for the final layer. Add the slices of Swiss cheese on top, followed by the reserved cup of cream sauce.
For the “bread crumbs,” in a small bowl, mix the almond flour (or crushed pork rinds), grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, black pepper, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. After baking, uncover the casserole and place it under a low broil for about five minutes to lightly brown the top.
This creates a crunchy topping that makes it a huge hit!
Once done, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container or freeze for up to three weeks. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful keto chicken cordon bleu casserole!
