Low Carb Cordon Bleu Casserole
- Total Time: 72
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small to medium sized head of cauliflower – should yield 2 to 3 cups once processed
- 1 cup Parmesan and Romano grated cheese
- 1 cup italian style shredded cheese
- 1 cup colby shredded cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 8 oz. ( 1 container) cream cheese spread chive and onion
- 1 cup “Top The Tator” sour cream dip
- 22 oz (1 bag) pre grilled chicken strips or chunks
- 1 cup deli sliced ham
- 12 slices of deli sliced swiss cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F. Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Then add to a saucepan with enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until fork-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a few minutes. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like rice like. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg first. Then add the cauliflower, parmesan and romano cheese, italian style cheese, colby cheese, garlic powder, and italian seasoning. Stir and then transfer to the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to flatten it and spread evenly on the whole pan. Bake for 35 min or until light brown.
- As the crust is in the oven cooking. Cook the pre grilled chicken in a sauce pan on the stove to warm it up. Then take out a small bowl and mix together the cream cheese and sour cream dip till it is well blended. Set the mixture aside. On a cutting board cut up the deli sliced ham so that is diced or in piece.
- When the crust has cool for 5 minutes you can assemble the cordon blue. Spread the sour cream and cream cheese mixture first on it. Next add the chicken, and ham on top of it. Place the swiss cheese on top and garnish with parsley flakes. Cook in the oven for 25 min.
Notes
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater. To make the recipe go faster you can grill the chicken the day before or cook the cauliflower the day before as well.

I love me some cordon bleu, and since it has to go low carb entices me more into making this! I love just how looking into the ingredients, they just complement each other. The cheese melting as it’s being baked is just heavenly to even think about. I think this would be a great addition to my for dinner recipes.
