I have always wanted to make Chicken Cordon Bleu but was intimidated by all the steps it would take to prepare it. This recipe was so much easier to make and the flavor was great. Did find some chicken cutlets so I didnt have to pound out boneless chicken breasts. Asked for my ham to be shaved thin and used Sargento's swiss cheese slices for the filling. The sauce for us needed just a little boost so I added lemon pepper, celery salt, a pepper. We really liked the chicken and my DH was happy with the sauce. Will be making this again!
