Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu
Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu
An Easy Way to Make a Tasty Chicken Favorite
Contrary to what I expected to find, Chicken Cordon Bleu is an American dish. It originated in the United States around the early 1960's. Although it does share some similarities with various European dishes, CCB, is strictly an American concoction. This tasty dish involves ham and cheese served inside chicken breasts which are then battered and fried. The recipe I am giving you for this delicious entree is much easier and makes a delicious "sauce" that can be served over rice. Serve this up with a side of broccoli and rice for a savory dinner that will be requested by your family over and over. Hope you enjoy!
