What Makes This Keto Casserole Recipe So Great

  • Fast. Dinner that is ready in under 30 minutes.
  • Great For Low Carb Beginners. Layer the ingredients and bake.
  • Low Carb. Only 4 net carbs per serving.
  • Packed With Cheesy Flavor. A creamy, melty casserole your whole family will love!
  • Versatile. I included a list of ingredients for this recipe, but you could customize it with whatever cooked protein or keto-friendly veggies you have on hand.

Let's be honest, this is another one of those recipes that I threw together with ingredients that I already had in my fridge.

But you know what? That's how some of the best comfort food recipes are made.

Nothing beats not having to go shopping for an extensive list of ingredients just to make dinner for the night. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is one of those recipes that you'll want to put into regular rotation when planning your dinners for the week.

As you probably already know, I'm a huge fan of recipes that take minimal prepping to make. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is so simple that you could probably have your kids make it for dinner (if you trust them with the oven, of course).

But trust me, don't let the simplicity of the dish fool you. This dish is absolutely delicious.

And absolutely do NOT skip the ground nutmeg. #TrustUrvashi. That one ingredient will make all the difference. 

Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken For This Recipe?

That's actually exactly what I did. 

I bought the ham, the chicken, and the swiss cheese all at the deli, and voila! Dinner.

So use leftover chicken, use rotisserie chicken, poach chicken from scratch--it will work either way. I also use this method when I make my Reuben Casserole. It's an easy Keto dinner option that has all the flavor of a tasty Reuben, and none of the carbs.

Can I Freeze This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole?

Absolutely.

That's another great thing about this recipe is that it freezes very well, which is perfect if you're the meal planning type or if you have leftovers.

    I made this casserole last night and had high hopes for it to be a "keeper." I did not care for this at all. I felt it was very bland.

    What’s not to love here!!! And it has nutmeg in It to boot. I love nutmeg. And you see so few recipes these days calling for it. That was my secret ingredient in escargot butter.
