Chicken Cordon Bleu
Flavors Used:
“Sacré bleu!” is what you’ll be saying after a taste of this Dan-good Chicken Cordon Bleu! Who doesn’t love fried chicken filled with ham and gooey cheese? Especially when you top it with even more cheese. This chicken cordon bleu requires a little more work than most recipes but it’s worth every ounce of effort.

This version of chicken Cordon Bleu was fantastic! The crust made with Danos OG, flour, breadcrumbs and eggs was so crispy and added an extra level of deliciousness. The cheese sauce was superb. I will definitely be making this again.
Made this tonight and it was OUTSTANDING!!!! Everyone liked them, the sauce and the crunchy outside!!!! Many Great comments on the flavor of the sauce!!
Only thing I did different was finished them on a Big Easy Smoker/Grill with Pecan chips to add some smoke flavor!!!
Yum yum!!!!!
