CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Today we are making a dish that was very popular in canteens while I was in high school. The chicken cordon bleu. I know you’ve asked for simpler recipes that are perfect for the week days, so this one fits perfectly. This dish was created in Switzerland in the early 40’s. A chicken breast, breaded and stuffed with ham and cheese. Giving it a gooey and rich centre. It is also cost affective and ready in 30 min start to finish. Now enough talking, let’s get cooking!
