    TAKE CHICKEN CORDON BLEU TO THE NEXT LEVEL

    If you're looking to take your Chicken Cordon Bleu up a notch, consider adding some of these delicious ingredients:

    Bacon: Wrapping the chicken in bacon will add extra flavor and juiciness.

    Havarti cheese: This creamy cheese pairs perfectly with the ham and chicken.

    Dijon mustard: Adding Dijon to the inside of your chicken will add a lovely tangy flavor.

    Parmesan cheese: Grating some Parmesan on top of the cordon bleu and broiling it until bubbly is delicious!

    When choosing chicken cordon bleu side dishes, always remember the rule of balancing textures and flavors. For a light dish that will complement this rich meal, try serving a mixed green salad or asparagus side dishes. If your taste buds prefer something sweeter, there are many delicious dessert options such as chocolate cake or apple pie.
