Greetings friends! Long time, no see. Life is chugging along over in my neck of the woods. I have a few low carb recipes to share with you this Summer. I hope you enjoy. First up is this really tasty Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole.

I went with cheddar cheese in this instead of the traditional Swiss as I find Swiss can be a bit overpowering in flavor. One thing I really enjoyed about this recipe is that the consistency isn’t super duper thick. The homemade low carb mushroom soup is so delicious. If you are low carbing I highly recommend it as it opens up a lot of casserole options for your meal planning.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 1 cup thinly sliced deli ham
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Mushroom Cream Sauce (Makes 1 cup):

  • 4 oz. canned mushrooms You can also use fresh mushrooms
  • 1 stalk celery chopped
  • 2 tsp. onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste (1/4 tsp each)
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum optional (Convenient to use as it thickens the soup faster without needing to reduce the liquids)

Crunchy Topping:

  • 1 cup pork rind crumbs blitz them in a food processor
  • 1 Tbsp. butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the mushroom cream sauce: Saute the mushrooms, celery, onion and butter until soft. Add the chicken broth, cream and water, then bring to a boil. As soon as it begins to boil, reduce heat to keep it at a simmer and cook until slightly thickened. If using the Xanthan gum to thicken, sprinkle it in as the soup is simmering in stir in quickly to incorporate. Set aside.
  • Prepare the chicken mixture: Mix the chicken, ham, cheddar and sour cream together in a mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the crunchy topping: Mix the pork rind crumbs and melted butter together. Set aside.
  • In an lightly sprayed 8×8-inch baking dish, spread the mushroom sauce over the bottom of the dish. Add the chicken mixture evenly over the soup. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the casserole.
  • Bake at 350-f for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly.
