Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Well I was staying at my daughters for the week to help her with the birth of her daughter. Yes I am a Grandma for the second time and truly enjoying every minute of it. So I had to find where everything was in her kitchen so I could put this recipe together for you. This is the first time I’ve experienced using a gas stove and quite liked cooking with it.
I did a lot of cooking during the week and one evening I served a shoulder ham and had some left over, so I thought a Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole was in order.
My kids were very impressed with there meal that night and so was I. I don’t think you will regret giving this Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole a try.
