Chicken, ham and swiss cheese all combine to make delicious Chicken cordon bleu

People all over the world eat chicken prepared in a seemingly endless variety of dishes. Chicken cordon bleu is a well-known favorite that is easier to prepare than it may appear. It starts with a chicken breast. The bigger the better because you will be stuffing it and will want as large a piece as you can find. When you have selected the right breast the next step in preparing Chicken cordon bleu is to pound it into a thin slab about one quarter inch thick. The larger the breast is to start with, the larger the final product will be and the more you will be able to stuff it with. In this case you will be using cheese and ham.

When the chicken is pounded flat you are ready for the next step in preparing your Chicken cordon bleu. Lightly sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on it and roll it up. Secure the side with toothpicks and put it in a baking dish. You can either sprinkle it with breadcrumbs at this point or roll it in them before placing it in the baking dish.

If all this still seems like too much work for you, you can order your supply of Chicken cordon bleu already prepared from many suppliers online. It is an easy process to compare products and prices and determine which is the best value for you. Home delivery is easy and fast and soon you will be serving a hot meal everyone will enjoy.
