Chicken Cordon Bleu is a French-inspired poultry dish, although evidence suggests that Chicken Cordon Bleu was actually developed in the United States by chefs imitating other stuffed meat dishes from Europe. The name of the dish is clearly of French origin – Cordon Bleu means “blue ribbon” in French, and in French culinary tradition, the Cordon Bleu is awarded to food or chefs of particularly high quality.

- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Combine the chicken broth, melted butter and minced garlic in a bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and paprika.
- Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound each to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt, pepper and oregano. Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll and secure with toothpicks.
- Dip each roll in chicken broth mixture and dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Place rolls, seam side down, in a baking dish coated with butter. Pour the remaining broth mixture over chicken. Bake in the preheated oven for 28 minutes or until golden crisp.

The most perfect Cordon Bleu I have ever seen, and I include my own:) So happy to see a post from you!
Wow, this chicken cordon bleu looks like perfection! And such beautiful photos, well done. :)
This is wonderful Angie. I love the cheese oozing out. I made something similar a few weeks ago but more like Chicken Kiev.
This looks so amazing.. crispy, golden and cheesey! So perfect!
Chicken Cordon Bleu is probably my favourite chicken dish, ever! Being baked makes your version even better!
Oh my goodness! That chicken dish look so amazingly good! So scrumptious!

Your cordon bleu is mouthwatering!! I've never tried it baked, next time I'll try your recipe :)
Wow, I'm drooling now.... I love chicken cordon bleu with brocolli and jacket potato with tartar sauce over it! Yummy! Yours look exceptionally delicious and perfect!
I love this dish but have never made it . Can u believe that? baked sounds so much better. I will do it. :))
Nice presentation, sure look delicious!
Great photos as always...perfect for our very cold night here.
WOW! I really love this, looks so delicious. I must try this...bookmarked!
So nicely done! The cheesy filling oozing out looks so good. :) A nice & elegant dinner to serve, thanks for the recipe. ;)
Lipsmacking cordon bleu, just love it..
wow this look so yummy, especially the cheese oozing out, drooling now...
wow you did a nice job on these, mine never come out like neat little rolls like this, so I gave up and just layer it. Tasted the same but not as pretty presentation at all like these! Great job!~
i thought it's going to be a drunken chicken as Gordon Bleu is also a type of wine.
I have seen this before but never tried it...not to talk about cooking it !
Oh my..that oozing cheese...nom nom
I adore chicken cordon bleu and this one has me drooling. The cheese melting out of it is priceless.
These is the kind of dish my parents would make for us as children, before we switched over to a Kosher kitchen (and I became pescatarian). You really can't go wrong with these ingredients. And who doesn't enjoy oozy melted cheese?
Very Gourmet-like. Looks unbelievably good!
These are so perfectly breaded. They almost look unreal!
What a great, classic dish. The oozing filling looks delicious!
Chicken cordon bleu is my husbands favorite meal. And yours looks so perfect and lovely! I usually just throw some swiss cheese and ham on a chicken breast and call it a day, but this is way batter! I will have to try your version - my husband will swoon!
You did a wonderful job with this recipe. It looks and sounds wonderful and I love that it is proportioned to feed smaller families. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
I just had a memory, when I was fourteen I had a neighbor who made this, and I watched her, maybe that is when I began to dream of my own family meals become so much more! I love this dish, and how you have adapted it to be baked!
wow!!!! looks soo perfect and really tempting pics. Love the clicks.
Soooooo tempting! Awesome Cordon Bleu! Excellent presentation!
Gosh, this is indeed salivating, Angie!
Healthier than the fried version and sooooo appetizing!
Cheers,
Rosa
Looks yummy - a lighter version and perfect for summer (the idea of standing over a frying pan when it's warm is not so far up there on the list of fun things to do for me).
Will be trying this soon.
Not sure if I could find Gruyères. I can't believe how simple this recipe is. I actually have everything to make it except for Gruyères.
i love chicken cb is one of my favs, baked even better..with the summer heat

This looks too good, Angie. It's making me want to eat meat (smile). And I bet it is American. Kind of seems like it for some reason...
My mom and dad have ordered these as one of the dishes for their 60th wedding anniversary so I am pleased to have this to refer to! These look PERFECT!
YUM
