Your first step in making this keto friendly Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole recipe is to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Next, you will put the chicken in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Then you want to layer the pieces of ham on top. Next, in a large bowl with an electric mixer you will combine the cream cheese, butter, white wine, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Then blend these ingredients until a creamy Dijon sauce forms.
Next spread the mustard cream sauce over the chicken and ham in the baking dish. After that, sprinkle the Swiss cheese on top of the sauce.
Next, place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until hot and the cheese melts. Also, you can broil it for 1-2 minutes if desired for bubbly cheese. Finally, garnish with parsley if desired and enjoy!
Pro tip: before broiling you can also top with crushed pork rinds for a little extra texture.
