Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole Recipe

This creamy, cheesy Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is made with shredded chicken, smoky ham, and Swiss cheese, ready in 45 minutes. The rich Dijon mustard sauce bubbles up beautifully under a crispy crushed pork rind topping. I love making this when I want comfort food without the carbs.

What Makes This Version Different

I always loved traditional chicken cordon bleu, but stuffing and breading individual chicken breasts takes way too much time. Turning it into a baked dish gives you all those classic flavors with a fraction of the effort.

My biggest surprise was how much better a pork rind topping works compared to standard breadcrumbs. It stays incredibly crispy even after baking, keeping the carbs low while delivering that essential crunch.

Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 8 oz deli ham, chopped
• 8 oz Swiss cheese, sliced
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 oz pork rinds, crushed
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

How To Make Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

1. 1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
2. 2. Layer the Meats: Spread the shredded cooked chicken evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish, then scatter the chopped ham on top.
3. 3. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth.
4. 4. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken and ham, then layer the Swiss cheese slices on top.
5. 5. Add the Topping: Toss the crushed pork rinds with melted butter and sprinkle them evenly over the Swiss cheese.
6. 6. Bake and Serve: Bake uncovered for 25 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Recipe Tips

• Soften the cream cheese: Cold cream cheese will leave lumps in your sauce, so let it sit at room temperature for an hour.
• Crush pork rinds finely: Put them in a zip-top bag and roll over them with a heavy glass for an even topping.
• Use block Swiss cheese: Pre-sliced cheese works, but grating your own block melts much smoother than pre-shredded varieties.

What To Serve With Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Keep things light to balance the rich, heavy cream sauce in this dish. I like serving it with roasted asparagus or a simple green salad dressed with vinaigrette. Steamed broccoli is also great for soaking up any extra cheese sauce on the plate.

How To Store

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. You can freeze this baked dish for up to three months, though the pork rind topping will lose its crunch. Reheat portions in the oven at 350°F to revive the topping slightly.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken for this?

Yes, picking the meat off a plain rotisserie chicken saves a lot of prep time. Just make sure to remove the skin before shredding.

Do I have to use pork rinds?

If you do not want to use pork rinds, you can substitute them with almond flour mixed with parmesan cheese.

Why did my sauce separate?

This happens if the heavy cream boils too vigorously. Baking at 375°F keeps it hot enough to bubble without splitting the dairy.
