What is Chicken Cordon Bleu
Chicken cordon bleu is a dish that has a chicken that has ham and cheese either inside of it or wrapped around the outside. There are several different varieties and ways to make it. Traditional methods also have some type of breading that wouldn’t be keto or low carb.
I wanted to create a version of cordon bleu that was a casserole because it’s much simpler to make. I think you will enjoy how it turns out too.
What to serve with Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu
There are so many fantastic foods that go well with homemade chicken cordon bleu. I have made a list of our favorite foods to serve with this chicken casserole to give you a little bit of inspiration:
- Bread – Any kind of your favorite bread of dinner rolls would work well. We love these Keto Garlic Dusted Dinner Rolls, and you probably will too!
- Mac & Cheese – What’s better than serving a cheesy chicken dish with more cheese? For keto, we always eat this keto cauliflower mac and cheese, and it’s excellent.
- Salad – You can opt for a simple garden salad with fresh veggies, or something with all the fixings. Either way is an excellent addition to your meal.
- Soup – I always enjoy eating soup during the colder months. Actually, I eat it year-round! My Keto Broccoli and Cheddar soup go so good with this chicken casserole.
Tips & Tweaks
This chicken cordon bleu is very simple to make, and there isn’t much you can mess up. But I wanted to point out a couple of things that might help.
- You can actually prepare this chicken cordon bleu ahead of time and leave it in the fridge for 24 hours before baking. This is great if you are meal prepping.
- The chicken and ham need to be at the bottom of the casserole. This gives it a strong base and makes it easier to scoop out of the pan.
- While most cordon bleu recipes have swiss cheese, you can swap it for mozzarella or parmesan if you’d rather. They are all delicious and taste great with the other ingredients.

Only eight ingredients are needed to whip up a batch of this amazing casserole. You can make swaps and adjust the ingredients as you see fit too. It’s a versatile recipe!
- Shredded chicken
- Cubed ham

- A squeeze of lemon juice
- Heavy whipping cream

How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Sprinkle out a layer of the chicken and then the cubed ham in the bottom of a 9×9 baking dish.
3. Mix together the cream cheese, dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, and heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Beat the cream cheese mixture on high until smooth and combined.
4. Layer the cream cheese mixture over the top of the chicken and ham in the baking dish.
5. Top the casserole with the Swiss cheese slices. Then bake the casserole for 30-40 minutes until browned and bubbly. After it has baked, you can broil the casserole for a minute or two at the end to get the cheese browned and toasty if you desire.
6. Finish by adding some freshly chopped parsley on top right before serving if you wish.
