Easy Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu

  4.6 – 247 reviews  • French

I love Buffalo wings a lot, but I wanted to branch out and try something new. These wings are slightly sweet, sticky, sour, and spicy. Before you start eating, have lots of napkins ready.

This recipe is so easy. I use string cheese in the center, which works out great. When pounding the chicken do it as thin as possible for tenderness.
Joseph Murphy
I used provolone because I had it in the fridge, my husband who insists he does not like chicken really liked it and said this is a keeper.
Pamela Reynolds
Easy, yet impressive. Really tasty too!
Terry Freeman
I had to make my own version because I didn’t have all the stuff I needed, however it turned out delicious
John Hernandez

John Mccann

Tanya Jones
It was delicious! I added a creamy chicken gravy. Really good!
Daniel Benton
This was so simple and delicious! I substituted provolone slices and it turned out so moist.
Javier Perez
I have made this several times. I freeze the cheese sticks first. It prevents it from melting out of the chicken during cooking.
Patrick Leblanc
I seasoned my chicken with Tony chacheres. After cooking, I sprinkled it with fresh lemon. Amazing!!!

Replaced breadcrumbs with Panko seasoned with Cajun and Italian seasoning. Used Swiss deli slices instead of mozzarella. After 40 minutes cooking, added 1/2 slice Swiss on top and broiled until Swiss began to bubble. Very moist and tasty.
Matthew Jackson
This is a Wonderful dish! I used Panko and ground up garlic croutons instead of breadcrumbs so it took the coating up a level. I am not a fan of swiss so the cheese sticks were a brilliant idea!!! I think they even made it easier to roll the cordon bleu and skewer them. Thank you for sharing this!!! I will make this again and again!

Easy and good!
Melissa Graham
It was very good. Cooked it on the stove to brown and then baked it in the oven for about 20 minutes. Made it for New Years Eve.

I didn’t make any changes and I will make it again. Very easy recipe and tasty too.

I always have to make some kind of change (it’s a compulsion). I used 2 flattened breasts topped with 1/4 of a thinly-sliced (~1/8″ thick) ham steak and 2 slices Sargento Ultra-Thin Swiss for each. Poultry twine was substituted for toothpicks, and breadcrumbs from homemade Italian bread topped it all off. This was delicious! When I make this again, I’ll use larger chicken breasts, since my husband wanted to know if there was more

This is a great easy recipe. I recommend using whatever kind of cheese you want to make it your own, and the kind of ham you prefer. The recipe was easy to follow and a complete hit. Timing even worked perfectly.
Cassandra Mcdonald
Delicious!!! I soaked the chicken in brine for 20 minutes prior to rolling it with the ham and cheese. We were out of bread crumbs but had oat bran (I have no idea why we had oat bran, but it seemed like a good idea. Healthier anyway, right?). So, I mixed 1 cup of oat bran with 2 Tablespoons of Italian seasoning and used it as a substitute. I might actually do that from now on when a recipe calls for bread crumbs!
Samantha Jimenez
I used Swiss cheese and Panko instead of bread crumbs. Very good but would incorporate a sauce next time.
