What Is Cordon Bleu?
- These yummy little Keto Cordon Bleu rollups are perfect little portions. So appetizing, whether served whole or made into a casserole. Everything is keto, from the pork rind mixture to the creamy sauce that goes on top!
- Ideal for make-ahead prep—simply prepare as directed and refrigerate. When guests arrive, pop in the oven and heat up the sauce on low.
- Leftovers can be frozen and reheated in the oven. Place a cooked portion in an individual baker and heat at 350°F until warmed through. So easy! Rollups could even be reheated in the air fryer, if available. Or refrigerate and take along for the best next-day lunch ever.
What’s in Chicken Cordon Bleu?
MEAT Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are butterflied and pounded to ¼” thick. This allows it to be wrapped around the other ingredients to create a rollup-style Cordon Bleu.
The ham can be sandwich meat, as long as it doesn’t have any ingredients that interfere with the keto diet.
DAIRY Heavy cream & cream cheese form the base of the savory sauce, giving it a rich keto texture.
What kind of cheese is in Chicken Cordon Bleu? Swiss cheese is usually the top choice, lending Cordon Bleu that classic ham and Swiss flavor. Or choose from stronger-tasting cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or even Cheddar, or go for mild-flavored slices of Mozzarella, Provolone, or Monterey Jack. (Just be aware that they will melt differently than Swiss cheese.)
SAUCE Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, as well as chicken boullion, turn cream into a super savory, super delicious sauce that can also be used on anything from Hard Boiled Eggs to a Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche (Keto).
So make a double batch for other keto uses! It combines perfectly with the butter garlic and keto breadcrumb topping on this chicken.
