Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu
Chicken Cordon Bleu is my favorite way to eat chicken. Gather your friends and your ingredients so that you will be able to make this dish for dinner tonight. Are some of your friend’s gluten-free? Don’t fret, because this is easily made with gluten-free ingredients as well.
we like to use panko bread crumbs to make this dish extra special and the outer layer golden-brown and crispy. You can easily find gluten-free panko breadcrumbs for a GF version of this recipe. To make it healthier, we like to bake it instead of frying it.
This dish is excellent with red wine and a side of asparagus, broccoli or any steamed vegetable. An additional way to enjoy it is by adding a side of rice or mashed potatoes. Also, this meal takes classy to a whole new level especially with the amount of saved time.
