When you want to get a whole meal on the table without creating a mess of plates in the sink, try out a casserole dinner. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole recipe brings together the savory flavors of chicken, sliced ham, and Swiss cheese over a bed of cauliflower.
However the real winner here? The sauce! It’s creamy with a kick from the Dijon mustard and truly binds all the elements of this simple meal together. And just for fun, I’ve topped the whole spread with pork rinds for a salty extra bit of crunch!

Tips:
- Make the topping as crunchy as you’d like! I love a big crunch so I kept certain of my pork rinds in big chunks to categorically add crispiness to the topping. However, you can crush them down further to have extra of a breadcrumb texture.
- Not a fan of pork rinds? Try adding bacon crumbles over top to add certain crunch and saltiness.
