I have been thinking about making Chicken Cordon Bleu for quite some time, my husband has made it many times but I had not. I realized yesterday I had everything I needed to make it and decided to give it a try.
This is not the traditional way of making it, more of a cheater Cordon Bleu, but it tasted fantastic and exactly like any other I had tried!
Making Chicken Cordon Bleu sounds complex but this recipe is a very easy one, try it! You will impress your guests!
3-4 chicken breasts, rinsed and patted dry
6-8 slices of Swiss Cheese (cut into 2 inch lengths)
Deli Ham slices or Canadian Bacon (cut into 2 inch lengths)
Sage (you could use fresh sage leaves as well)
salt and pepper to taste
1 box Shake and Bake for Chicken
Carefully slice your chicken breasts in half, leaving one side attached, so it opens like a book.
Shake your ground Sage onto the open chicken breast
Place your cheese slices on the chicken breast off to one side or the other (you will eventually fold it over)
Place your ham slices on top of the cheese
Salt and pepper, fold your chicken breast over and secure with toothpicks or a skewer (to keep the filling inside)
Spray each breast with pan spray
Assemble your bag of Shake and Bake and coat the breasts evenly
Bake on a sheet pan using a cookie cooling rack or some type of rack to keep it from lying directly on the baking sheet (this will help it crisp up)
Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes

Bravo, Cheryl! These look terrific! I love that photo with the melting cheese. Your instruction photo is great, too. I want some. I'm really hungry. Hint. Hint.
Personally, I like your way of making it! It looks crispy and delicious on the outside, and warm/tasty on the inside. Flawless dish!
