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
- Pre-cook the chicken to prevent this dish from being extremely watery
- Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees
- 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
- Place the cut up chicken, ham and the spices into the mixing bowl and mix well
- Add the mixture to the casserole dish or the 9x13 pan and evenly spread out
- Top with cheese and bake in the oven for 40 - 50 minutes
