Easy Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu
I love this quick and easy Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe made all in one skillet. There’s no breading, rolling or frying, all the ingredients are layered right in the skillet. An easy weeknight chicken breast recipe your family will LOVE! If you want a more traditional recipe that’s baked in the oven, try this Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu. This is great with roasted asparagus, risotto or serve this with rice pilaf.
When I was a kid, my Mom learned how to make Chicken Cordon Bleu in a cooking class she took. Like me, she always loved to cook. I loved that dish so much I used to ask her to make it for me weekly, which she breaded and fried.
