This super easy keto chicken cordon bleu gives me the wonderful flavor combination of the classic dish, without the hard work and kitchen mishaps. I created this recipe after a few failed experiments. When I tried to stuff chicken breasts with ham and cheese and then bake them, the cheese managed to ooze out, leaving me with dry chicken and puddles of melted cheese on the pan. 😳
Ingredients
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty entree. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: Success! Tonight for dinner, we all enjoyed the wonderful flavors of chicken cordon bleu, made keto with almond meal. No cheese puddles! Just juicy chicken breasts topped with warm ham and melted Swiss cheese. Bliss on a plate.
Avocado oil spray: This oil has a neutral flavor and a high smoke point, making it an ideal cooking oil. Mayonnaise: I like to use avocado oil mayonnaise. Dijon mustard: It’s creamier and less vinegary than yellow mustard. Chicken breasts: Just like in my Greek chicken recipe, I use boneless skinless breasts in this one. Kosher salt and black pepper: If using fine salt, you should reduce the amount you use by half. Almond meal: You can also use blanched almond flour. Toppings: Thin-sliced ham, sliced Swiss cheese, and chopped parsley.

Storing leftovers
The leftovers keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Reheat them gently, covered, in the microwave at 50% power. I return them to the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese melts. That’s the ultimate in ease, and it’s still very tasty!
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and coat them with a mixture of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Dredge them in almond meal and spray them with oil, then bake them until cooked through, about 20 minutes at 425°F. Top each of them with ham and Swiss cheese and return them to the oven to melt the cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
If so, keep an eye on them. You might need to loosely cover them with foil to prevent the tops from burning.
