Article Index
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 in just a short amount of time!
It took me less than thirty minutes to bake and prepare this delicious casserole that looks and tastes like a gourmet meal. It’s seriously one of the best chicken recipes to make for a delicious dinner tonight!
Why you'll love it
This chicken cordon bleu recipe is perfect to make for your family as your schedule becomes super busy. It’s 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 family-friendly meal is exactly what you need. You don’t even have to make stuffed chicken breasts! There isn’t a lot of measuring or food prep necessary. It’s all made in one dish.
I found some shortcuts that sped up my time with food prep. I just know you are going to love them too!
Ingredients
There are just a few simple ingredients in this easy chicken cordon bleu casserole. Here’s what you need:
Meat
To cut prep time, I used one package of black forest deli ham but you can use any ham you like. A ham steak works great too. Just make sure it doesn’t have sugar.
I also used a bag of frozen pulled chicken breasts from the freezer section to make prep time easier. If you are planning ahead, you can meal prep shredded chicken in advance and use that! Or just shred some rotisserie chicken for last minute.
I love that the meat is pre-cooked, which saves time in the kitchen when making this chicken cordon bleu recipe.
Cheese sauce
To make the creamy sauce, I used a combination of mayonnaise, heavy cream, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and swiss cheese.
Yes, it’s a very rich and filling recipe!
Spices
Use your favorite spices in this cheesy casserole. I used garlic powder, black pepper, and chicken bone broth.
And, you can’t forget the salt and pepper!
Crunchy topping
This is optional, but I used come crushed pork rinds to add a bit of crunch on top of the casserole. They are a great low-carb option to crispy bread crumbs. You can also make your own seasoned keto panko breadcrumbs!
For a little extra flavor, pour a little melted butter over the topping!
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
- Substitute shredded cheese. The swiss cheese doesn’t needed to be shredded. You can also use cheese slices!
- If you use chicken breasts that aren’t pre-shredded, make sure you cut the chicken breasts into strips.
- Use pork rinds for some extra crunch. Add plain crushed pork rinds over the casserole for a crunchy topping and to add the “fried” feel of classic cordon bleu.
- Add melted butter. Melt a little butter and pour it over the pork rinds. This will give the topping extra flavor.
Instructions
This is a really simple recipe to throw together last-minute. You basically combine all the ingredients and then bake them. It’s so easy to make chicken cordon bleu! Here’s how:
Make The Cream Sauce
First, mix together the mayonnaise, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Then, stir in the parmesan cheese, spices, and swiss cheese.
This will be the base sauce.
Add The Meat And Broth
Next, stir in the chicken breasts, ham, and chicken broth or chicken stock.
Bake The Casserole
Add the ham and cheese mixture to the baking dish. Sprinkle on your crunchy topping and drizzle melted butter on top.
Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes until you have golden brown. Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy! It’s absolutely delicious.
️ Serving suggestions
This is such a wonderful recipe that almost any low-carb side dish you make will taste delicious with it!
My go-to is some sort of roasted veggies (like roasted broccoli) and some "mashed potatoes", really just creamy cauliflower mash.
You can never go wrong with some green beans almondine. The almonds have a really yummy nutty flavor that pairs well with the creamy ham and cheese.
For something light and tasty, make some oven-roasted asparagus! It's easy and scrumptious.
Why it works
Traditionally, a classic chicken cordon bleu recipe is stuffed chicken breasts wrapped around ham and cheese. Then, it’s breaded with a breadcrumb mixture (like panko crumbs) and deep fried.
But, that’s not very keto-friendly!
So, I took the classic flavors of a chicken cordon bleu recipe- chicken, ham, and swiss – and combined them into a casserole form that will feed your entire family. I even incorporated the “deep fried” part of the traditional dish by using pork rinds.
You are going to love this low-carb recipe because it doesn't call for cream of chicken soup or egg noodles like regular versions!
FAQs
Before I share the entire recipe card, there are some questions I want to answer.
The prep time for this easy low carb meal should be less than five minutes. You'll just need to combine all the ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Once everything was mixed together, I just spread it out into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Honestly, you can probably use any baking dish size that you have in your cabinet, even a shallow dish. Since the meat is already pre-cooked, you are basically just heating it up, so the cheeses all melt together. This will work no matter what size of dish you use.
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 also eliminates a lot of the pork taste. You can also make your own seasoned low-carb breadcrumbs!
Since the meat is pre-cooked, 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.
The last word
This is going to become one of your family’s favorite recipes! Save this to a Pinterest board so you can find it later!
I would also like to share that you get a lot of servings from this casserole, and it’s packed with protein. A little goes a long way, so it’s a nice dish to take with you for a potluck gathering.
The leftovers make wonderful quick meals later on in the week!

This may be my favorite KETO recipe. It is so filling and flavorful! One serving leaves me full and satisfied; except it's so good I always want more!
Jen
This is a family favorite! I make it once a month and have been for over a year. My husband is diabetic so he is very appreciative of such a decadent meal.
I have tweaked the recipe a bit here and there and I believe I've achieved a nearly perfect dish. The original recipe is very, very rich. Not necessarily a bad thing but I found myself wanting to lighten up just a bit. So I add parboiled asparagus in one inch pieces, one tablespoon of Dijon mustard and the zest and juice of half a lemon. It's delightful either way.
Jessica
I turned this recipe into “Turkey Cordon Bleu” for Thanksgiving ‘23 and, no lie, it was the best thing on the table! If you’re keto, it gives you all of the flavors of Thanksgiving without the carbs! Instead of chicken, I roasted a turkey breast and used that in place of the chicken. I also omitted the broth and it turned out perfectly. It was so delicious and even all the other non-keto family members were remarking at how good it was. Excellent recipe. Thank you for getting me through the holiday without feeling deprived and without a food coma!
Cheryl Cooksey
WOW this was delicious! I love all of your recipes but this one is the absolute best thing I've had in ages. Even my non-keto husband loved it. Thank you testing and putting these recipes together!
Marie
Used ranch seasoning instead of garlic and mixed only 3 tablespoons of chicken broth with the cheese mixture.
No pork rinds just mozzarella cheese on top. Delish.
Patricia
my daughter made this casserole for dinner tonight. OH MY GAWD! thought my taste buds were going to jump out of my mouth and do a dance on the plate. SOOO GOOD! she did double a few of the ingredients to make it a thick 9x14 panfull. this casserole will be part of our rotation. Thank you for sharing it!
Susan
Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing an exact amount of 171g for a serving of your recipe for Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole (KETO)! Your effort in doing this is very much appreciated! I haven't made the casserole yet, but when I do, I will add another comment. Thank you again!
Kelly
All though I cut my Swiss thinish, it did not melt other than that it’s an amazing recipe! Almost like an Alfredo
Kim
Excellent rendition of a favorite recipe. I used the Instant Pot to cook seasoned chicken thighs, shredded the meat, then used it for the casserole. Very rich, so it was self-limiting. I used the pork rinds and added a bit of melted butter over top. It was wonderful.
Kimberly E Smith
Is there something I can substitute for the mayonnaise ?
Lisa MarcAurele
Sour cream or Greek style yogurt may work.
Maria Ochoa
This was delicious! I only added half the liquid!
Trey Medeiros
Mine was delish a little soupy tho.
Alicia
You made this and didn't tell me??? Bad brother!! 😉
Beth
This was so easy and absolutely delicious!! Even my son and husband loved it. I will be making this more often!!
Dawn
Family loved this! Easy an tastes awesome!
Janet K Curfman
I've been seeing this recipe on my FB feed so I decided to try it. It was a HUGE HIT!! I was worried that the swiss cheese would be overpowering but it wasn't at all. Definitely on the monthly menu going forward. Thanks for sharing.
Lisa MarcAurele
So happy the casserole recipe worked out for you!
Shastah
Wow! This is amazing! I didn’t use the chicken broth or the pork rinds. Will definitely be making again!
DEBRA A ESPOSITO
I don't like pork rinds so I use crushed cheddar cheese crisps instead. Works great!
Jake
love the idea Deb, thanks!
Lmay
Does the Tyson chicken need to be thawed before you put it in?
Lisa MarcAurele
The chicken is used frozen.
Kristal
This was delicious, but I found it quite dry when mixing it all up, so I did add the half cup of liquid and it turned out perfect.
Patricia
Was wondering if u can I use raw chicken verse pre cooked chicken or does the meat need to be pre cooked looking to make this week for first time
Lisa MarcAurele
You'd likely need to bake it longer if using raw meat. Since the ham is already cooked, I like to use pre-cooked chicken. But technically, you can use raw just be sure it's fully cooked before removing from oven.
Yvonne
I use raw chicken too but I cube it and pan fry it. This is the reason I use thighs so it doesn't dry out. Very tasty recipe. Making it tonight!
kay
The whole family loved it! next time I will add a veg maybe broccoli. thanks for the recipe
Santjie
This is amazing. Might not put the chicken stock on next time as it is a bit watery. I also substitute the ham for bacon and used chicken breast.
Kimber
This is my favorite keto chicken cordon Bleu recipe. I double the recipe, carefully add only some of the broth (I chop, season and cook my chicken and use the broth from that). I also add just a bit of brown mustard (maybe a teaspoon) heat through then layer baby swiss on top and return to oven till melted & bubbly. SOOOOOOOOOO yummy!!! Thank you ????
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks for sharing your tips! I always double the recipe when making for company. I do think it works best using less broth.
Elizabeth
I see that the recipe makes 10 servings in a regular 9x13 pan. The pieces must not be very big then. Is that correct?
Lisa MarcAurele
We find its just right for a serving, but the size can be adjusted as needed with nutrition data modified accordingly.
Bon Albers
Has anyone that has Celiac tried this recipe? It looks great, but not sure about the meats being gluten free? I love your recipes!
Lisa MarcAurele
Any meat can be used in the recipe so you can look for one stating gluten-free if needed.
Elizabeth
This looks so good. Since I have to be so frugal and not purchase convenience meats, I always have cooked chicken in the freezer in 2 Cup portions for casseroles, etc. Would you estimate that the amount of meat you called for would be about 2 cups cubed chicken?
That's the common amount in all my low-carb recipes, it seems.
Lisa MarcAurele
The amount of cooked chicken is very flexible. I'd say 2 cups would work fine.
Allison
If I choose to use chicken breasts, how many would you say this recipe takes? 2?
Lisa MarcAurele
I'd say about 3 or 4 large ones.
Nikki
What other cheeses can be used? I hate Swiss but I need it kid friendly.
Lisa MarcAurele
Mozzarella, monterey jack, or colby jack are good alternatives.
Cora
This is amazing! Made as written without the broth.
TERESA WEYER
I make this weekly. Everyone in my family eats it!
sue fox
this looks so yummy
Yvette Mitchell
I also used rotisserie chicken the breast part.
Yvette Mitchell
First time making this it is good, but the garlic needs to be omitted. Put what it calls for it is just too much. My family agreeded. Overall easy to make and will make again without the garlic and the broth was fine after is cooled some.
Rhonda' Samocki
This sounds great
I would leave out the Mayo because of sugar
Pork rinds
Is this not to much protein ???
Thanks
Lisa MarcAurele
If you are on a moderate protein diet, you may want to leave the pork rinds out as it does add more protein.
Sara
Mayo doesn’t have sugar
Allison Lee
Absolutely delicious!!!
I only changed a few things. I bought chicken strips (bc I couldn't find the pulled) and followed the cooking instructions to thaw. Once cooked (thawed) I used a hand mixer the shred the chicken. I also skipped the broth all together and used bread crumbs instead of pork rinds.
JoAnn
You cook the chicken and pull it apart with your hands. You don’t buy chicken already pulled apart.
Karyn
Is there an alternative to Swiss cheese? I’m not a fan of it. Curious about trying it with mozzarella and Gouda maybe?
Lisa MarcAurele
Any similar cheese types should work out fine in the recipe. Mozzarella and Gouda are good replacements.
Katie
Do you add the chicken to the casserole while it is still frozen or do you heat it up first?
Lisa MarcAurele
I add frozen since it's already cooked.
Nicole
Do you think this would work with the tyson chicken chunks or strips? None of the stores near me carry the pulled and I would prefer not to have to pull chicken manually...
Lisa MarcAurele
It should work with the chunks or strips too.
Kathy
I'm sorry I usually love these recipes. I didn't care for it and neither did my kids.
I'm not sure why beyond all the dairy.
Valerie
Made this for dinner tonight. Delicious. I tweeted it by adding chopped brocolli and mushrooms. I did not put the broth in it as I knew it would be too watery.
Lisa MarcAurele
The broth isn't needed it does add too much liquid.
Deb
This was incredibly delicious! We used free range organic chicken tenders sauteed in Kerrygold butter. Added chopped onion, sliced mushrooms and organic chopped broccoli. Served it up on a bed of organic greens. So simple to make, which I appreciate. Thank you for all of the wonderful recipes!
Lisa MarcAurele
You're welcome. I'm so glad this chicken cordon bleu casserole worked out for you!
Sandie
This looks really great ! Will be making it but will have to tweak for diabetic compliance. I would use Delli sliced smoked ham and left over chicken I have cooked myself. I found most prepacked or precooked foods contain non compliant starches and dextrose or maltodextrin that do not show up on the carb list but are listed in the ingredients section. (in smoked deli meats these sugars are cooked out in the smoking process) Same for the flavored Pork Rinds, only the plain ones are compliant. (see the ingredient list) Also , shred your own block cheese or have sliced at the deli as pre packaged pre shredded cheese contains starches to keep it from clumping. Hidden starches and hidden sugars like dextrose and maltodextrin can make a diabetic's BG spike and eating to much can throw a person out of ketosis. NOtE: read the ingredient list on the Rotisserie chickens you find in Sams and Costco's, they contain Corn Meal, starches and dextrose, so they are not compliant for Keto. Cooking your own Rotisserie chicken in a Air fryer or in a crockpot would be more beneficial.
Lisa MarcAurele
You are right about the noncompliant additives!
Allie
Made this for a potluck; enjoyed the flavors but it was watery. How about adding xanthum gum to thicken?
Lisa MarcAurele
Either add xanthan gum or reduce the broth.
Michele
Could it be watery because the chicken was frozen?
Lisa MarcAurele
I used the chicken frozen. The cheese should thicken the sauce. You can always add in a little xanthan gum or another thickener if needed.
Joy Salthe
I made this last night and it turned out great. Instead of using frozen chicken, I cooked a couple of chicken breasts in the crock pot and shredded them. That way I have the chicken for the casserole and stock for soup later. I also used some of the broth instead of the bone broth.
Jeff
Could you crock pot this?
Lisa
It can be done in a crock pot if desired.
Rusty
Second time making this dish,first time was perfect,this time I'm baking cauliflower and I'm putting this on top,should be really good.
Lisa
Hope that worked out for you!
Wendy Herman
I am going try this tonight...To cut down even more on the time, I am going to get shredded swiss, and use the Costco rotessiere chicken that is already deboned and chunked pre packaged and ready to go. I think I will also use the larger pre cubed ham you can get in the grocery store as well. To top it off, I will pan sauté the crushed pork rinds in butter to get them golden brown, crunchy, and then top them on the casserole and place under the broiler for a few minutes for extra crunch.
Lisa
Sounds like perfect ingredients to use. I wish we had a Costco nearby. The closest one is like an hour and a half away.
Cheryl
This recipe was not good at all!I feel like I wanted a lot of time and money making this. (I cooked chicken to put in it.) It didn't taste like chicken cordon blue at all! All I could taste was cream cheese.
Lisa
You could leave the cream cheese out, but then it wouldn't have the right texture for a casserole. The ham, Swiss cheese, and chicken flavor of cordon bleu is there.
pedro
When instructions (which took a lot of time, effort and hours of testing) dont turn out right, the blame is put on the instructions. I encounter these people EVERYDAY!
Lynn
I made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I love how easy and quick it was to put together. It’ll be a regular at my house!
Lisa
Glad it was a hit Lynn!
Cindy baugh
just made this. it was very good! I only added 2 T of broth and it was not at all watery. will def make again!
Lisa
Thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe Cindy!
Suzanne
Replace half the chicken with frozen cauliflower skipping the broth since it has liquid. Also the ham you use can make it watery. I have been known to sauteed the ham to drive off some of the water.
Lisa
Good tips. Thanks Suzanne!
Nancy
Tried this tonight. Used Costco rotisserie chicken, less ham and no chicken broth. Also Dijon mustard to cream cheese. Added spinach and fresh green beans chopped for veggies. Delicious. Definitely a do over. Will probably use less Swiss cheese due to richness but loved it.
Lisa
Thanks for sharing your modifications Nancy. Sounds great!
Laurie
Nancy, I've made this several times in the last few months. Tonight I was thinking that I would like to add a veggie, and green beans was on the list. Thank you so much for sharing this as I was second guessing myself!!
Michelle Cochran
Absolutely fantastic! I did not use broth. I could eat this every day! It's even toddler approved!! Thank you!!
Leigh
I do not know what I am doing wrong. My carbs per serving is showing 22.7 and calories 577. I even re added all ingredients manually to myfitnesspal, and still showing it this way. How are you getting 5 carbs and mine show 22.7? HUGE difference and I cannot afford to eat that many in one meal. That is my daily intake
Lisa
I just redid the calculation and got 1g carbs per serving. There's something wrong on your end likely with an ingredient being used.
Michelle
I had the same problem. I went through each ingredient it was automatically finding and saw a HUGE number of carbs for the garlic powder. Once I selected a different kind of garlic powder from their list, the carb count went way down.
William Gagliardi
I use MyFitnessPal too. The trick when you're importing the recipe, is to replace the items that are obviously wrong.For example, the garlic powder it chose said that 1/2 tsp of garlic powder was 145 carbs! obliviously that's wrong. I also inputted unsalted chicken broth. I came up with 351 calories and 4 carbs, per serving. That will very some between brands, but it should be close enough. I'm going to include my link on MyFitnessPal (I hope it works), and you can see for yourself. I haven't made the recipe yet, but am looking forward to it.
https://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/view/103094036581869
Denise
when you use MyFitnessPal always search for spices like garlic as a spice, like spice-garlic, minced or spice-garlic, powdered to get accurate calorie count. hope this helps!
Diane
Unfortunately, as someone else also commented, mine turned out so watery and runny 🙁 It was not "solid" at all like in your photos. No way to "slice" it up like yours. I had to drain off most of the liquid and scoop the "casserole" into bowls. It did taste good, but was not at all as shown. It didn't even have the thick, creamy consistency of let's say a tuna casserole - so watery! I followed the recipe perfectly too. 🙁
Lisa
I'm sorry it was runny. Perhaps leaving the chicken broth out as one commenter did would solve that.
NF
This is delicious but needs some tweaking. Came out incredibly salty, so I would recommend lower sodium ham and low or no salt chicken broth. I doubt the chicken comes unseasoned, so maybe do your own or use drained, canned? May lose texture with canned. It also came out a little runny on the bottom, less liquid? I also had to cook it longer to get it somewhat browned. It is wonderfully gooey and cheesy. Broccoli sounds like a great addition as that is what we usually serve with most chicken.
Lisa
Thanks for the tips!
Dawn Parris
I am making this tomorrow with left over Thanksgiving turkey!!!
Lisa
Great idea!
Adam
How much fresh cooked chicken for this recipe? I prefer making my own over bagged stuff. Thanks!
Lisa
It's about the same amount, 20 ounces.
Lorraine
Mmmmm. This was delicious. I omitted the chicken broth, since I didn't have any. I also got carried away with the seasonings. I added onion powder and salt. I did NOT need to add salt, but it still tasted great! So creamy and gooey. Oh, I also used provolone instead of swiss cheese as a personal preference.
Lisa
There is plenty of salt coming from the ham and cheese so I agree, NOT needed.
Robin
can this be made ahead and frozen?
Lisa
I haven't tested it out, but I don't see why not.
James Palaszeski
Yes. We do it all of the time.
Diane Smith
i have made this several times and it seems to come out with some liquid to it, any suggestions on what i have done wrong, i do not cover it when i cook it, follow instructions. It just doesnt have that solid feel to it. Still tastes good.
Thank You, Diane
Lisa
You could reduce the amount of chicken broth or try adding it in with the heavy cream. Perhaps using an electric mixer to make sure the liquid and cream cheese are well blended.
Nancy Morris
My husband is a borderline diabetic. I buy Carba-Nada Egg Fettuccine. For your casserole, to make a one pan dinner, I used 6 ounces of noodles and poached chicken in white wine (didin't have broth). I put the cooked noodles in the bottom of the casserole, added chopped chicken ham and swiss cheese. Made the sauce as you did except I used the poaching wine (strained) insteasd of broth. Both my husband and friend raved about the dinner that night.
Nancy
Lisa
Thanks for the info! I need to check out that brand of pasta.
NF
This pasta contains, according to package, 24G of carbs in a serving. Yes, less than some pasta servings, but still too much, especially when combined with other carbs at the meal and total during the day. Eliminate pasta, breads, sugars, etc. Just some helpful advice from a person who has reversed(for the time being), her almost diabetes. Try to stick with around 10 to 15 grams of carbs per meal.
William Gagliardi
Don't forget net carbs equals carbs minus fiber, so with the 7 grams of fiber, the net carbs are 17 grams. Still too high for me, though I might try it sometime with zucchini noodles, or shirataki noodles.
Susan
Lisa,
You are awesome! I made the coconut cream pie the other day, looked pretty and tasted GREAT! We fought the kids for it, and WON! This casserole is quite intriquing, will start here, then move to the picatta. Your recipes are a God send, as I was living on cheese and nuts, as I wasnt sure what else to eat, and too busy to read! I am down over 40 and hubs is down over 30. Now we are not so bored!
Lisa
Wow! Congrats on the weight loss to both you and your husband.
Becky
I have some deer sausage (like kielbasa) that I need to use. How do you think this would taste w/ kielbasa and chicken mixed in lieu of ham? Also.. would cauliflower add a potato-like texture so it's not all meat and sauce?
Lisa
I think it would taste okay. I love deer sausage.
Libby
Delish!
Lisa
Thanks Libby!
Renee
So I've made two of your recipes in two days. And they rock! This was an absolute winner! I'm totally good with you getting sponsored to make the recipe. In fact, I wouldn't mind you getting sponsored to have more just like this - quick, easy and absolutely yummy!
Lisa
Thanks Renee!
Lyn
Making this tonight...it looks/smells AMAZING. I had to sub 1/2 n 1/2 for the heavy cream, and sprinkled seasoned stuffing mix over the top...lightly sprinkled...so a bit higher in carbs than yours, but I think it will work.
Lisa
Hope you love it as much as we do Lyn!
Dana
I made this earlier today and it is so good! I had to sub sour cream for the heavy cream and omit the chicken broth because I didn't have any. I also added broccoli. Will definitely be my go-to for quick and easy low carb dinner!
Lisa
Great that it worked out with sour cream. Broccoli also sounds like a good addition.
Jennifer Butler
Can you tell me how you store the crushed Pork rinds in the freezer? It just a ziploc bag okay? This looks and sounds amazing! Can't wait to try it!
Lisa
I keep them in a freezer ziploc or storage container.
Shannon Brown
Sounds wonderful!! I can actually get all the ingre at our local Aldi store, and that means SAVINGS! I can not however stomach the smell of pork rinds anymore... I need to find something else for the top...
Lisa
The pork rinds are optional. If you'd like a sub, you can always toast up some low carb bread and crumb it.
Jennifer Butler
Thank you! I tried this Saturday night for dinner and it received 5 stars from the entire family of picky eaters! I am having a hard time finding whey powder and coconut flour for some of your other recipes. Any suggestions on where I might find them?
Lisa
Whey powder is usually in with the protein supplements. It can be difficult to find the plain no sugar added one. I get mine from Amazon. Coconut flour is sold in the warehouse stores like Costco and BJs. I buy it there and online.
Dianna
Will definitely be making this for our family! Thank you for adding to my low-carb gluten-free recipe list.
I have always love chicken cordon bleu... and I always have a bag of seasoned pork rind 'breadcrumbs' at the ready, because I use them so often: for making meatloaf, eggplant parmesan, coating fish and pork chops...
Thank goodness for Walmart, they are now the only store within a 20-mile radius of me that I can count on for stocking pork rinds!
Looking forward to this meal, thank you for all your easy 'regular ingredients' recipes!!
Lisa
I stock up on pork rinds at Walmart too! I can never find them in the other local stores.
bitter fruit
Nothing beats The Dollar Store for pork rinds!
Lisa
Really? I'll have to see if they sell them at The Dollar Store in our area.
Paula
My local Sam’s Club has a huge tune for a very reasonable price. This is what I purchase and make seasoned and unseasoned bread crumbs in bulk so I have lots inthe freezer. Thank you for the wonderful recipes! They are a lifesaver!
Lisa
You're welcome.
Sue
Just an fyi. The irnds are sold in chain markets. You should be able to find them in the same isle as ethnic food's. Goya product's, Mexican food etc.. Took me 5 stores until I figured that out.
JanetGoingCrazy
This casserole sounds amazing! I think I'll have to make it for my family this week. [client]
Lisa
Thanks Janet!
