Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe
Chicken Cordon Bleu is such a classic dish, but it doesn’t get much recognition these days, and it should! I revamped this classic to make it gluten free and keto friendly, and it is out of this world!
Ingredients
- 4 4oz chicken breasts 2 8oz breasts cut inn half lengthwise works perfectly
- 4 slices deli ham Boar's Head maple glazed honey coat ham is my favorite
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste
- Place seasoned chicken on a greased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes per side, until no longer pink inside
- While chicken is baking, make the sauce by melting butter in a medium saucepan and stirring in the heavy cream
- Add the parmesan cheese, black pepper, dijon mustard, and cornstarch (or xanthan gum), and stir until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened
- After chicken has baked, turn oven broiler to high
- Top each cooked chicken breast with one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese
- Place back in oven under broiler until cheese has melted
