Tips For The Chicken Cordon Bleu Schnitzel Recipe

➡️ Chicken recipes are very popular all over the world nowadays and one of the most appreciated chicken cuts is chicken breast.

➡️ There are available many stuffed chicken breast recipes, fried in the pan or baked in the oven, but the classic one, namely the chicken cordon bleu remains one of the best foods you ever tasted! Chicken cordon bleu is basically a chicken breast schnitzel stuffed with ham and cheese.

➡️ As for the needed stuffing for the chicken cordon bleu recipe, I’ve used 2 slices of ham and one slice of cheese to fill up a chicken breast half, but you can use a double quantity (6 slices) and change the proportion between cheese and ham if you’d like so. However, you should leave enough space to tighten the edges of the pocket so that it does not get hot oil inside while you fry the cordon bleu schnitzel.

➡️ I have to mention that the chicken schnitzel cordon bleu recipe is extremely delicious. The juicy boneless chicken breast combines with melted cheese and appetizing ham flavor, so there is a winning final taste that likes everyone and this is, probably, one of the reasons why this chicken dish is so popular!

➡️ Cordon bleu can be served in different ways. You can eat it plain or top it with various sauce types such as mushroom sauce, parsley sauce, and so on. There are many side dishes that fit the chicken schnitzel cordon bleu. Some of my favorites are creamy mashed potatoes, fries, risotto, or plain rice pilaf.
