Chicken Cordon bleu casserole

Gluten free and Keto friendly Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole. This is a super easy casserole to make that is not only gluten free, but it is also keto friendly. I did not bother to figure out the calorie or carb count in this because I make it differently and in different size pans. I usually make this in a 9x13 pan, but will sometimes use a large casserole pan / roaster pan. Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes (you can also use some leftover turkey or even chicken thighs)
  • 1 large ham steak cut into cubes (1/2 inch or so), or about 4 cups of cubed ham
  • 8-10 ounces of shredded swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 12 ounces of cream cheese or neufenchtal cheese that is softened
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3-4 teaspoons of garlic powder to taste
  1. Pre-cook the chicken to prevent this dish from being extremely watery
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees
  3. In a large mixing bowl , add in the cream cheese and the heavy whipping cream and mix it with a handheld mixer until it is fully mixed together. It will seem extremely thick, but this is normal
  4. Place the cut up chicken, ham and the spices into the mixing bowl and mix well
  5. Add the mixture to the casserole dish or the 9x13 pan and evenly spread out
  6. Top with cheese and bake in the oven for 40 - 50 minutes
