Perfect Chicken Cordon Bleu – made with tender chicken breasts, flavorful black forest ham, tangy Swiss cheese, and a crisp panko finish. And to polish it off it’s highlighted with a creamy garlicky mustard sauce to finish. It may be old-fashioned but it’s still absolutely delicious!
What is Chicken Cordon Bleu?
Cordon Bleu is a dish of Swiss origin that is a derivative of schnitzel.
Chicken cordon bleu specifically is made of chicken that has been pounded thin, layered with ham slices, and topped with Swiss cheese. They layers are rolled snug or folded over, after which it’s breaded with flour, egg and dried breadcrumbs. And to cook it’s and either pan fried or baked.
In the United States it was a dish that was very popular between the 60’s and 70’s. In my experience as a kid growing up in the 90’s I commonly remember chicken cordon bleu casserole which was a simplified version (which wasn’t quite as good, but mimicked the same flavors).
You can serve it whole (note in this recipe though you’ll only get four servings if doing so), or you can slice and layer them on a platter domino style. I prefer the later as you’ll get more servings and presentation is eye catching with those pretty swirls.
And the creamy honey mustard sauce, which I believe is a staple to the dish, should be poured over each individual servings right before it’s served (so the breading doesn’t get soft, because that crispy crunch is a crowning finish!).
What to Serve with Chicken Cordon Bleu
I recommend serving this with:
steamed or roasted green beans, asparagus or broccoli
garlic mashed potatoes or parmesan roasted potatoes
spinach cranberry salad or this kale salad
