Easy Fall Keto Chicken Casserole

With the busy school year starting, it's time to get out those quick and easy dinner recipes. I came up with a low carb chicken cordon bleu casserole using convenient ingredients from Tyson Foods!

It took me less than thirty minutes to bake and prepare this delicious casserole that looks and tastes like a gourmet meal.

This meal prep chicken recipe is perfect to make for your family as the summer winds down and school activities begin to take over. This is a very easy recipe to throw together without having to think much about it.

If you are a really busy parent – or even a busy adult with jobs and other responsibilities – this meal is exactly what you need. There isn't a lot of measuring or food prep necessary.

I found some shortcuts that sped up my time with food prep. I just know you are going to love them too!

What Is Cordon Bleu?

Traditionally, cordon blue is chicken wrapped around cheese or with a cheese filling. Then, it's breaded and fried.

I took the classic flavors of cordon bleu – chicken, ham, and swiss – and combined them into an easy casserole that will feed your entire family. I even incorporated the "fried" part of the traditional dish by using pork rinds.

You are going to love this low-carb recipe!

Ingredients Used In This Cordon Bleu Casserole

To cut prep time, I used one package of Hillshire Farm® Farm Classics® Black Forest Ham Lunchmeat along with one bag of Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Pulled Chicken. I bought both products at a local Walmart Supercenter.

The ham was located in the open refrigerated section with all the other lunchmeat products. The chicken was with the other frozen chicken products in an upright freezer. I love that the meat is precooked which saves time in the kitchen when making this low carb chicken cordon bleu casserole.

Please note: Make sure to check out the recipe card below to find out what else I used in my casserole and how I kept it low-carb!

Quick Tips:

The swiss cheese will be chopped, but you can use shredded if you have it.
Make sure you cut the chicken breast into strips or use the pre-cooked meat.
Add some plain crushed pork rinds over the top as this gives it the crunchy topping.

Frequently Asked Questions About Keto Cordon Bleu Casserole

Before I share the entire recipe card, there are some questions I want to answer.

How Long Does This Casserole Take To Prep?

The prep time for this easy low carb meal should take you less than five minutes. You'll just need to combine all the ingredients into a mixing bowl.

For this recipe, I mixed cream cheese with mayonnaise and heavy cream first. Then, I added in some spices and parmesan cheese. Next, I stirred in ham, swiss cheese, frozen chicken, and chicken broth.

It's that simple.

What Sized Casserole Dish Do I Need?

Once everything was well blended, I just spread it out into a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Honestly, you can probably use any size of dish that you have in your cabinets.

Since the meat is already pre-cooked, you are basically heating it up so the cheeses all melt together. This will work no matter what size of dish you use.

What Is A Keto-Friendly Way To Add A Crunchy Topping For Casseroles?

I opted to top off the casserole with crushed pork rinds. You could use seasoned pork rinds if you already have some made. I find that storing crushed pork rinds in the freezer is not only convenient, but it also eliminates a lot of the pork taste.

There's a great recipe for seasoned low carb breadcrumbs made with pork rinds here.

How Long Does This Keto Casserole Take To Cook?

Since the meat is precooked, it should only take 20-25 minutes for the chicken cordon bleu casserole to heat fully and begin to brown. With less than 30 minutes from start to finish, you won't be stressing to feed your family during the busy back to school season.

Is This A Good Meal For Picky Eaters?

My husband loves both ham and chicken. He's a picky eater and hard to please. But, he was willing to give this low carb chicken cordon bleu casserole a try. I knew he would love it and he did eat it up without complaining.

Since this was a meal that my husband really enjoyed, I'll be making it often. I have a hard time finding things that he likes to eat other than plain meats, pizza, and burgers. He's not a low carb eater so when I find a dish low in carbs that he eats, I make it a regular.

My kids are pretty picky too. However, they were also won over by this low carb chicken cordon bleu casserole. The three year old loved all the cheese!

I would also like to share that you get a lot of servings from this casserole and it's packed with protein so a little goes a long way. It's a nice dish to take with you for a potluck gathering.
