This casserole has tender chicken, savory ham, and melted cheese, all baked in a creamy sauce. It’s perfect for a low-carb weeknight dinner! Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (or cubed)
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (or Gruyère)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp butter (for greasing the dish)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and combined.
- Assemble the casserole: In the prepared baking dish, spread the cooked shredded chicken and diced ham evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded Swiss cheese over the top of the chicken and ham mixture.
- Pour the sauce: Pour the creamy mustard sauce over the chicken, ham, and cheese, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Swiss cheese on top.
- Bake the casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is hot throughout.
- Serve: Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes to set. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save time if you don’t want to cook and shred the chicken yourself.
- If you like a crispy top, you can broil the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some crispy bacon crumbles or a bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
This Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is rich, cheesy, and perfect for a low-carb dinner that the whole family will love. Enjoy! 😋🍽️
