My family loves chicken cordon bleu, but I just don’t make it very often. It is a bit time consuming to make and I usually just don’t have the time to make it.
This skillet version of Chicken Cordon Bleu is easier to put together and cooks up quicker. Chicken breast is breaded and cooked in a skillet. Then it is topped with deli ham and Swiss cheese. My family still prefers my regular cordon bleu recipe, but still loved this faster version.
