What is chicken cordon bleu?
Chicken cordon bleu is a traditional Swiss dish that features thin chicken wrapped around sliced ham and Swiss cheese before being fried in fat.
It’s super delicious and my version has all the flavors in an easier to make, lower maintenance recipe.
Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:
- Chicken breasts– Boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of fat and diced into equal sized pieces
- Potatoes– Little potatoes like new or baby potatoes cut in half
- Ham– Diced
- Oil– Canola or another light oil
- Seasoning– Seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, dry mustard, and black pepper
- Cheese– Shredded Swiss.
How to Make
You don’t need to be a master chef to make these easy chicken cordon bleu foil packets!
Just stir all of the ingredients, except the cheese, together in a large mixing bowl.
Then lay two large pieces of aluminum foil on top of each other on a flat surface.
Add 1/4 of the meat mixture into the center of the foil.
Fold the packet up, sealing it tightly.
Put the sealed packet on a large baking sheet.
Repeat to make three more foil packets.
Put the tray of foil packets into 375° for 30-35 minutes, just until the potatoes are fork tender.
Remove the pan from the oven.
Then carefully open each packet in the center, making sure to avoid the escaping hot steam and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly out over the meat mixture in each packet.
Put everything back in the oven, baking just until the cheese has melted.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Storing leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a hot oven until warmed through or microwave in a microwave safe dish without foil until warm.
