This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is a low-carb twist on the classic dish, with tender chicken, savory ham, and melted cheese, all baked together in a creamy sauce. It’s a comforting, cheesy casserole that’s perfect for a family dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

For the Casserole:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 8 oz deli ham, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the casserole dish)

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Casserole Dish

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken and Ham

  1. If not already cooked, cook the chicken breasts (you can bake, grill, or sauté them) and shred them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Chop the ham into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Continue to cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

  1. In the prepared casserole dish, layer the shredded chicken and chopped ham.
  2. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken and ham mixture.
  3. Sprinkle the Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese on top of the casserole.

Step 5: Bake the Casserole

  1. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbling.
  2. If you want a crispier top, you can broil the casserole for an additional 2–3 minutes.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
  2. Serve the casserole hot and enjoy the cheesy, creamy goodness!
