Delicious, everyone loved it to the last drop. I used garlic salt and garlic pepper on the chicken and grated parmesan cheese in the bread crumbs. The sauce is simple and so good.
Justin Campos
This recipe is great. I edited it a good amount by turning it more into a casserole to save time on the pounding of the chicken. instead I cut the chicken into bite sized bits and breaded them. I threw them in the cast iron pan with chunks of ham and fried them up nice. I slowly transferred them to a casserole dish as they finished. then threw on the cheese and the soup and baked as directed.

I needed to cook it fifteen mins longer than it said. The flavor and texture was good. I will make it again. Needs more spices.

This is a pretty basic recipe, but you can make the sauce your own. First, I used seasoned panko breadcrumbs with an egg wash. The sauce needs help. I started by sautéing some garlic and butter and added some chicken stock to the pan. I added the soup, but it was still lacking flavor so I added some cooking sherry. That helped, but I decided to add some herbs from my garden too. I added fresh parsley, thyme and sage. It was so good after that! I left the sauce off of the chicken while it baked to keep the chicken crisp and used it more like a pan sauce than a gravy. Definitely a good way to use up some of that old soup in your pantry.

This is very good considering the little effort and time it took to make. I used Costco’s Kirkland ham and in my opinion, it’s a little too much. Or maybe my chicken breast filet was too thin? Regardless, we enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the recipe.
Heather Parker
This was delicious, and very easy to make. It’s a keeper for sure!

Very Delicious. The only thing I tweaked was I Seran wrapped the chicken after breading it and let it sit in the fridge for an hour (this helped the breadcrumbs stick better). I also cooked the chicken in the air fryer, I recommend spraying the breadcrumbs with PAM first and air frying it at 380 degrees for 20-25 mins (flipping chicken halfway through). Then I added the sauce to it at the end. I made a simple rice pilaf (using Sarah’s Rice Pilaf recipe from AllRecipes minus the chicken broth) and mixed veggies. The sauce gave everything so much flavor, super tasty!

I made this for a ladies get together and it was a smash hit. Very easy ans directions were spot on.
Michael Hernandez
it was tasty. I probably should have butterflied and folded the chicken instead of rolling it
Mariah Gonzalez
So yummy! I substituted the ham with bacon (because that’s what I had at home, and bacon makes everything better) and the swiss cheese with muenster. I’ll definitely be making it again. My husband loves cordon bleu and this is an easy recipe to make even with a busy schedule.

My children loved it, but I thought the sauce that’s on top of it is too rich. Also, I had to cook it for almost twice the time suggested to cook the chicken breasts throughout
Kenneth Stone
Had to cook it longer then the recipe called for but the taste was amazing.
Robert Aguilar
On fire! wow, everything came together perfectly.
David Hughes
My husband and I LOVED this recipe. I didn’t have Swiss cheese so I added mozerrella. Also, I added a package of dry ranch dressing to the sauce before pouring over the chicken. Gave it a really nice flavor. Definitely will make this again.
Caleb Pittman
Awesome!
Matthew Henson
Everyone loved this. Next time I’ll add a little more cheese. I made the sauce, but I put in way too much pepper. I added brown sugar to counteract the pepper. This really made the sauce terrific.
Luis Martinez
It turned out pretty good! I liked the soup mix on top. I’d definitely cook it 20-25 minutes instead though, 15 minutes isn’t long enough.
Barry Martin
came out pretty good..for the most part I followed the recipe but i seasoned the chicken more with garlic powder and onion powder and mixed the bread crumbs with flour. I also sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top to give it a little extra flavor. cream of chicken sauce was good, didn’t realize something so simple would go so well with cordon bleu. I will make it again but I think I will try to flatten out the breasts next time or buy it like that to save time.
Carly Morris
It was delicious!! The only thing I did differently was only put some of the sauce on the chicken when I put it in the oven to cook. I let the rest of the sauce stay warm on the stove top, then when chicken was done cooking I added more sauce.
Colin Martin
I followed the recipe exactly. the sauce had a nice flavor but could have used more depth. Be sure to brown the chicken well in the skillet before putting in the oven with the sauce over it, to avoid it getting too soggy.

This is my weekday “go-to” recipe when the wife wants Chinese, the kids want pizza, and I want Mexican. This dinner is SURE to bring the family to the table with a smile on their faces! Get ready for a lot of lips smackin’ goodness when you make this.
