Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu
"This is an easy version of cordon blue. If you have never tried to make it before because it sounds intimidating, then you are missing out! This is a really easy way to do it (as most are). I personally think this is a very inexpensive dish!"

Super easy, super delicious! For once, a dish everyone loved and it did not take me all night to make it. The preparation was easy and it took exactly 45 minutes in the oven.

We loved this recipe! It was lovely and simple - although my partner got a little too into smashing one of the chicken breasts up, so we had one ugly one! I made it as the recipe stated. I imagine there would be lots of room for adding different seasonings to this, but for a basic cordon bleu recipe, I can't fault it! -
It's a good basic recipe with lots of wiggle room for personal tweaking. I added coriander, garlic powder and Beau Monde seasoning in the egg mixture. I didn't have any ham so I substituted with cooked broccoli and used smoked gouda cheese. -
i used panko instead of flour good crunch easy to make

I tried this for something new, and it was FABULOUS! Super easy which I did not expect. I skipped the egg and flour, for ease sake, and put the breadcrumbs right on....worked great. Whole house happy. Thanks for sharing!
