Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
This keto chicken cordon bleu casserole layers shredded chicken, smoky ham, and Swiss cheese in a rich dairy sauce that bakes bubbly with golden spots in 25 minutes.
Equipment
- 9x13-inch casserole dish
- Small mixing bowl
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 pound sliced Black Forest ham
- 1 pound shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 °F and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Coat the base and corners lightly so the creamy edges release easily after baking.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, heavy cream, and cream cheese in a small bowl until completely smooth. Press any cream cheese against the side of the bowl until no firm white lumps remain.
- Stir the grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and ground black pepper into the cream cheese mixture. The sauce should look thick, creamy, and evenly seasoned.
- Combine the shredded Swiss cheese, sliced Black Forest ham, and shredded rotisserie chicken in a large bowl. Separate the ham as you toss so it disperses through the chicken instead of clumping together.
- Pour in the chicken broth and toss the mixture gently. The chicken should take on a light coating of moisture without sitting in a pool of liquid.
- Add the creamy sauce and fold until the chicken and ham are thoroughly coated. Look for an even, glossy coating across the bowl before transferring the mixture.
- Spread the mixture in the prepared dish and bake for 25 minutes. Remove it when the edges bubble actively and the top has light golden-brown speckles.
Notes
Ingredient tip: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a completely smooth sauce without lumps. Texture tip: Blot damp deli ham slices dry with paper towels to prevent excess liquid from pooling at the base of the casserole dish. Reheating: Warm leftovers gently in a moderate oven or at low power in the microwave to keep the dairy sauce smooth and avoid oil separation.
