Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
This hearty, low-carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is an easy weeknight meal, combining shredded chicken, ham, a creamy Dijon sauce, and melted Swiss cheese, baked to golden perfection. Enjoy a delicious and satisfying dish with minimal effort!
Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
- 6 cups shredded cooked chicken about 2 pounds
- 6 ounces ham cut into bite-size pieces
- 4 ounces butter melted
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine optional
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 ounces Swiss cheese sliced or shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier!
- Evenly spread the shredded cooked chicken across the bottom of the prepared dish. Top the chicken with the bite-sized ham pieces. Using pre-cooked chicken makes this step super quick and easy!
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and salt. If you're using it, add the white wine for an extra depth of flavor, or simply skip it for a similar delicious result. Use an electric mixer to blend everything until it's wonderfully smooth and creamy.
- Gently spread this rich, creamy sauce evenly over the chicken and ham layers in your baking dish. Make sure it's well distributed for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Arrange the slices or shredded Swiss cheese over the sauce, creating a beautiful, melty crust for your casserole.
- Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it's hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden. For an extra crispy, golden-brown cheese topping, you can carefully broil it for 1-2 minutes at the very end – just keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn!
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to scoop.
