We hadn't had Chicken Cordon Bleu in a while and we sure enjoyed this dish. It won't be the last time. There is something to be said about this combination that includes ham and Swiss and it supports that fact that it has been popular after all these many years. The only thing I would do different is season the chicken with salt and pepper, but being careful not to overdo it considering there is salt in the ham and cheese already. Thank you, Linky for sharing. Made it "For your Consideration" tag game.....https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/4foodfriendsandfun/cooking-games-f69/

Overall a very nice dish though the DH did remark that he felt the swiss cheese was too soft and would prefer something with more bite and the addition of the spring onion and mixed herbs I normally add to a recipe that I make. Now I do have an issue with battering out and rolling chicken but that is me - gave up long ago and just slit the breast and stuff which is what I did and made as per recipe. Thank you Linky, made for Make My Recipe - Spring Edition.
