Have you ever wondered how to make cordon bleu? I know, sounds a little intimidating, but I’m here to show you that it’s a really easy (and so delicious) meal that the whole family will love! It’s also a perfect freezer meal for those busy nights…that’s right, you can have cordon bleu on a busy night! And the leftovers (that is, if you have any) are fantastic for appetizers or sandwiches. You are going to absolutely love this recipe!

Freezer Chicken Cordon Bleu

Start by preheating your oven to 400˚ and spraying a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, then set aside.

Next, pound out the chicken breasts nice and thin, one at a time, using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. Make sure you keep them covered or in a ziplock bag so they don’t splatter everywhere in your kitchen…that would be a mess! Season both sides with salt and pepper and set them aside.

Next in a medium sized dish, whisk together the eggs, dijon mustard, and milk.

Then in a separate dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, flour, panko, and season salt.

You will want to set up a little assembly line. Place one chicken breast in front of you, top it with a slice of swiss cheese (or two if you like it really cheesy), then add two slices of ham and fold the chicken in half.

Then, you will place the little “package” of chicken in the egg wash and then in the bread crumb mixture. I always pat the breadcrumbs on the chicken, just to make sure it sticks good.

Then, place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until you have used all the chicken.

Bake for 50-55 minutes, flipping the chicken over halfway through the cooking time. The internal temperature must reach 165˚ to ensure it is cooked all the way through. Remove from oven and let set for 10 minutes. Now that’s golden brown deliciousness right there!

    I followed your instructions and the chicken was very floury on the outside not crispy. I thought it strange to put the flour in with the bread crumbs. Typically you dust with flour, egg wash then the seasoned bread crumb combo. I didn’t bake the chicken as long either and it was very dried out. Disappointed because now I have a bunch of frozen chicken cordon bleu that I will not eat. 🙁

    Has anyone made this using the thin slices chicken breast? If so would you adjust the cooking time?

    I just made this for myself and froze the other 4 breasts. Oh my gosh ubber yummy.
    I didn’t have dijon so I used French’s yellow mustard. As well didn’t have Panko crumbs either so I added oregano and more plain crumbs instead. Either way this very yummy.
    Have u ever tried any other cheeses instead of the swiss? Swiss seems to have a powerful taste that I’m not sure of.
    Thank you for the great ideas!!
