I loved this!! I am doing low-carb, so I skipped the eggs, flour and breadcrumbs entirely. For my husband I sprinkled some breadcrumbs on top of his.

This chicken cordon bleu was awful! The bacon didn't get a chance to crisp underneath the breading, so it was gooey and nasty! I've made chicken cordon bleu before without a recipe and I thought it could be improved on, so I tried this recipe- DON'T made the same mistake I did! That is, unless you like gooey bacon. I will NOT be making this ever again!

Awesome indeed! I was surprised at how easy this was. I was also surprised at how most of the cheese stayed inside of the chicken! My chicken rolling skills leave a bit to be desired, but this was delicious! I will definately be making this again.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. It was great & I would make it again. I have a great tip on how to flatten the chicken breasts with no mess. Take a big plastic baggy- moisten the inside with a little of water. Put a chicken breast inside the bag & flatten it with your mallet. It works like a charm & no messy clean up. Hope this helps.
