    The Rich History Behind Chicken Cordon Bleu

    Before we get to the recipe, let’s talk about where Chicken Cordon Bleu gets its fancy name. "Cordon Bleu" means “blue ribbon” in French, basically calling it an award-winning dish.

    Traditionally, it’s made with chicken or veal stuffed with ham and cheese, breaded, and fried. But this casserole? It’s got all those classic flavors with way less hassle—and it’s a bit healthier, too!

    ingredients needed to make chicken cordon bleu casserole

    Ingredients You'll Need To Make Keto Chicken Casserole

    There are just a few simple ingredients in this easy chicken cordon bleu casserole. Here’s what you need:

    • Meat: Chicken breasts and ham.
    • Cheese: Swiss cheese, grated or thinly sliced.
    • Sauce: A combination of heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

    That’s it! With these basic ingredients, you can transform them into a tasty and satisfying casserole that will have everyone asking for seconds.

    My Best Tips For Making Chicken Cordon Bleu At Home

    • Use pre-cooked chicken: To save time, use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken instead of cooking it from scratch. Just shred the meat and mix it in with the sauce. If you are planning ahead, you can meal prep shredded chicken in advance and use that!
    • Use deli ham: Using deli meat or a ham steak can save a ton of time on prep work. If you don’t have ham on hand, you can also use thinly sliced prosciutto or Canadian bacon.
    • Don’t skip on the cheese: Swiss cheese is key for that classic Chicken Cordon Bleu flavor, but feel free to add in some extra shredded cheese on top for an even cheesier casserole.
    • Make it your own: Experiment with different types of ham or cheese to personalize this dish to your family’s taste preferences. You can also add in some veggies like broccoli or spinach for a boost of nutrients.
    • Add a crunchy topping: This is optional, but I used some crushed pork rinds to add a bit of crunch on top of the casserole. You can also make your own seasoned keto panko breadcrumbs!

    Storing and Reheating Tips

    This casserole is not only easy to prepare but also reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep.

    • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
    • Reheat in the oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick meal.
    • Freeze for longer storage (up to 2 months). Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

    What To Serve With Chicken Casserole

    While this casserole can stand on its own, pairing it with the right sides can elevate your meal (while keeping it keto). This is such a wonderful recipe that almost any low-carb side dish you make will taste delicious with it!

    My go-to is some sort of roasted veggies (like roasted broccoli) and some "mashed potatoes," really just creamy cauliflower mash.

    You can never go wrong with some green beans almondine. The almonds have a really yummy nutty flavor that pairs well with the creamy ham and cheese.

    For something light and tasty, make some oven-roasted asparagus or air fryer mushrooms! It's easy and scrumptious.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Before I share the entire recipe card, there are some questions I want to answer.

    How long does this casserole take to prep?

    The prep time for this easy, low-carb meal should be less than five minutes. You'll just need to combine all the ingredients into a mixing bowl.

    What sized casserole dish do I need?

    Once everything was mixed together, I just spread it out into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Honestly, you can probably use any baking dish size that you have in your cabinet, even a shallow dish.

    Since the meat is already pre-cooked, you are basically just heating it up, so the cheeses all melt together. This will work no matter what size of dish you use.

    What is a keto-friendly way to add a crunchy topping for casseroles?

    I opted to top off the casserole with crushed pork rinds. You could use seasoned pork rinds if you already have some made.

    I find that storing crushed pork rinds in the freezer is not only convenient but also eliminates a lot of the pork taste. You can also make your own seasoned low-carb breadcrumbs!

    How long does this keto casserole take to cook?

    Since the meat is pre-cooked, it should only take 20-25 minutes for the chicken cordon bleu casserole to heat fully and begin to brown.

    With less than 30 minutes from start to finish, you won't be stressing
    to feed your family during the busy back-to-school season.

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup mayonnaise
    • ¼ cup heavy cream
    • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
    • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • dash fresh ground pepper
    • 8 ounces Swiss cheese chopped
    • 1 pound ham chopped
    • 20 ounces cooked chicken shredded or chopped
    • ½ cup chicken bone broth or stock (optional)
    • ½ cup crushed pork rinds optional
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Mix mayonnaise, heavy cream and cream cheese until well combined.
    • Stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and pepper.
    • Add in the Swiss cheese , ham, chicken, and chicken broth.
    • Spread mixture out into a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Top with crushed pork rinds if desired.
    • Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until top begins to brown.

    Notes

    A couple commenters noted that the casserole was watery. The broth is not necessary and can be left out to reduce liquid! 
    Additional tips:
    • The swiss cheese will be chopped, but you can use shredded if you have it.
    • Make sure you cut the chicken breast into strips or use the pre-cooked meat.
    • Add some plain crushed pork rinds over the top as this gives it the crunchy topping.

      I am making this recipe tonight, but noticed the comments at top say a mustard cream sauce, however there is no mustard in the ingredient list. Soooo I’m gonna add 1/8 of a cup of dijon mustard to the recipe and let you know how it goes.

      This is a family favorite! I make it once a month and have been for over a year. My husband is diabetic so he is very appreciative of such a decadent meal.

      I have tweaked the recipe a bit here and there and I believe I've achieved a nearly perfect dish. The original recipe is very, very rich. Not necessarily a bad thing but I found myself wanting to lighten up just a bit. So I add parboiled asparagus in one inch pieces, one tablespoon of Dijon mustard and the zest and juice of half a lemon. It's delightful either way.

      I turned this recipe into “Turkey Cordon Bleu” for Thanksgiving ‘23 and, no lie, it was the best thing on the table! If you’re keto, it gives you all of the flavors of Thanksgiving without the carbs! Instead of chicken, I roasted a turkey breast and used that in place of the chicken. I also omitted the broth and it turned out perfectly. It was so delicious and even all the other non-keto family members were remarking at how good it was. Excellent recipe. Thank you for getting me through the holiday without feeling deprived and without a food coma!

      Used ranch seasoning instead of garlic and mixed only 3 tablespoons of chicken broth with the cheese mixture.
      No pork rinds just mozzarella cheese on top. Delish.

      Excellent rendition of a favorite recipe. I used the Instant Pot to cook seasoned chicken thighs, shredded the meat, then used it for the casserole. Very rich, so it was self-limiting. I used the pork rinds and added a bit of melted butter over top. It was wonderful.

        You'd likely need to bake it longer if using raw meat. Since the ham is already cooked, I like to use pre-cooked chicken. But technically, you can use raw just be sure it's fully cooked before removing from oven.

        This is my favorite keto chicken cordon Bleu recipe. I double the recipe, carefully add only some of the broth (I chop, season and cook my chicken and use the broth from that). I also add just a bit of brown mustard (maybe a teaspoon) heat through then layer baby swiss on top and return to oven till melted & bubbly. SOOOOOOOOOO yummy!!! Thank you ????

      This looks so good. Since I have to be so frugal and not purchase convenience meats, I always have cooked chicken in the freezer in 2 Cup portions for casseroles, etc. Would you estimate that the amount of meat you called for would be about 2 cups cubed chicken?

      That's the common amount in all my low-carb recipes, it seems.

      First time making this it is good, but the garlic needs to be omitted. Put what it calls for it is just too much. My family agreeded. Overall easy to make and will make again without the garlic and the broth was fine after is cooled some.

        If you are on a moderate protein diet, you may want to leave the pork rinds out as it does add more protein.

      I only changed a few things. I bought chicken strips (bc I couldn't find the pulled) and followed the cooking instructions to thaw. Once cooked (thawed) I used a hand mixer the shred the chicken. I also skipped the broth all together and used bread crumbs instead of pork rinds.

      This looks really great ! Will be making it but will have to tweak for diabetic compliance. I would use Delli sliced smoked ham and left over chicken I have cooked myself. I found most prepacked or precooked foods contain non compliant starches and dextrose or maltodextrin that do not show up on the carb list but are listed in the ingredients section. (in smoked deli meats these sugars are cooked out in the smoking process) Same for the flavored Pork Rinds, only the plain ones are compliant. (see the ingredient list) Also , shred your own block cheese or have sliced at the deli as pre packaged pre shredded cheese contains starches to keep it from clumping. Hidden starches and hidden sugars like dextrose and maltodextrin can make a diabetic's BG spike and eating to much can throw a person out of ketosis. NOtE: read the ingredient list on the Rotisserie chickens you find in Sams and Costco's, they contain Corn Meal, starches and dextrose, so they are not compliant for Keto. Cooking your own Rotisserie chicken in a Air fryer or in a crockpot would be more beneficial.

      I made this last night and it turned out great. Instead of using frozen chicken, I cooked a couple of chicken breasts in the crock pot and shredded them. That way I have the chicken for the casserole and stock for soup later. I also used some of the broth instead of the bone broth.

      I am going try this tonight...To cut down even more on the time, I am going to get shredded swiss, and use the Costco rotessiere chicken that is already deboned and chunked pre packaged and ready to go. I think I will also use the larger pre cubed ham you can get in the grocery store as well. To top it off, I will pan sauté the crushed pork rinds in butter to get them golden brown, crunchy, and then top them on the casserole and place under the broiler for a few minutes for extra crunch.

        You could leave the cream cheese out, but then it wouldn't have the right texture for a casserole. The ham, Swiss cheese, and chicken flavor of cordon bleu is there.

        I use MyFitnessPal too. The trick when you're importing the recipe, is to replace the items that are obviously wrong.For example, the garlic powder it chose said that 1/2 tsp of garlic powder was 145 carbs! obliviously that's wrong. I also inputted unsalted chicken broth. I came up with 351 calories and 4 carbs, per serving. That will very some between brands, but it should be close enough. I'm going to include my link on MyFitnessPal (I hope it works), and you can see for yourself. I haven't made the recipe yet, but am looking forward to it.

      Unfortunately, as someone else also commented, mine turned out so watery and runny 🙁 It was not "solid" at all like in your photos. No way to "slice" it up like yours. I had to drain off most of the liquid and scoop the "casserole" into bowls. It did taste good, but was not at all as shown. It didn't even have the thick, creamy consistency of let's say a tuna casserole - so watery! I followed the recipe perfectly too. 🙁

      This is delicious but needs some tweaking. Came out incredibly salty, so I would recommend lower sodium ham and low or no salt chicken broth. I doubt the chicken comes unseasoned, so maybe do your own or use drained, canned? May lose texture with canned. It also came out a little runny on the bottom, less liquid? I also had to cook it longer to get it somewhat browned. It is wonderfully gooey and cheesy. Broccoli sounds like a great addition as that is what we usually serve with most chicken.

      My husband is a borderline diabetic. I buy Carba-Nada Egg Fettuccine. For your casserole, to make a one pan dinner, I used 6 ounces of noodles and poached chicken in white wine (didin't have broth). I put the cooked noodles in the bottom of the casserole, added chopped chicken ham and swiss cheese. Made the sauce as you did except I used the poaching wine (strained) insteasd of broth. Both my husband and friend raved about the dinner that night.

        This pasta contains, according to package, 24G of carbs in a serving.

Eliminate pasta, breads, sugars, etc. Just some helpful advice from a person who has reversed(for the time being), her almost diabetes. Try to stick with around 10 to 15 grams of carbs per meal.

          Thank you! I tried this Saturday night for dinner and it received 5 stars from the entire family of picky eaters! I am having a hard time finding whey powder and coconut flour for some of your other recipes. Any suggestions on where I might find them?

          Whey powder is usually in with the protein supplements. It can be difficult to find the plain no sugar added one. I get mine from Amazon. Coconut flour is sold in the warehouse stores like Costco and BJs. I buy it there and online.

      Will definitely be making this for our family! Thank you for adding to my low-carb gluten-free recipe list.
      I have always love chicken cordon bleu... and I always have a bag of seasoned pork rind 'breadcrumbs' at the ready, because I use them so often: for making meatloaf, eggplant parmesan, coating fish and pork chops...
      Thank goodness for Walmart, they are now the only store within a 20-mile radius of me that I can count on for stocking pork rinds!
      Looking forward to this meal, thank you for all your easy 'regular ingredients' recipes!!

        I stock up on pork rinds at Walmart too! I can never find them in the other local stores.

          Nothing beats The Dollar Store for pork rinds!

          Really? I'll have to see if they sell them at The Dollar Store in our area.

          My local Sam’s Club has a huge tune for a very reasonable price. This is what I purchase and make seasoned and unseasoned bread crumbs in bulk so I have lots inthe freezer. Thank you for the wonderful recipes! They are a lifesaver!

        Just an fyi. The irnds are sold in chain markets. You should be able to find them in the same isle as ethnic food's. Goya product's, Mexican food etc.. Took me 5 stores until I figured that out.
