ingredients you need

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for the Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

• cauliflower – Hidden vegetables! Cut the cauliflower into equal-sized florets so they cook evenly.Feel free to add any other vegetables you like here, they work great bake.
• Avocado Oil – Use avocado oil for the best flavor and nutrition, but you can also use your favorite vegetable oil.
• sea ​​salt and black pepper – The amount of salt in the recipe assumes your shredded chicken has salt added before cooking. If you don’t add salt at all, you can add more salt to taste before baking the casserole.

• heavy cream – This gives the casserole its rich and creamy flavor. I don’t recommend using milk as the sauce is too runny, but full-fat coconut milk (canned) can be used as a substitute.
• sour cream – Use full-fat sour cream for best flavor. mayonnaise Can be used as a substitute if desired, but the taste will vary.
• Dijon mustard – This gives the casserole a little vibrancy and goes well with the ham. Yellow mustard can be used, but may be too strong; the flavor is best for Dijon.
• garlic – Use fresh garlic for best flavor or canned garlic For convenience. Substitute 1/2 tsp garlic powder if desired.
• Chick – It needs to be cooked.you can make your own chicken shreds Use chicken breasts or drumsticks. Other convenient options include grilled chicken, packaged precooked chicken breasts, diced grilled chicken breasts, or any leftover chicken.

• Ham – Use deli ham or leftovers Keto Glazed Ham.
• swiss cheese – For convenience, buy shredded cheese, or shred your own for the best flavor. Switzerland is the classic choice, but you can also mix in Gruyere, mozzarella, or even pepper jack. If you have cheese slices on hand, you can also melt them on the casserole instead of using shredded ones.
• pig skin – These are optional, but add a nice crunch to the casserole, like crumbs or cookies. If making this for a family and you’re not concerned with carbs, panko breadcrumbs can be substituted.
