Chicken cordon bleu
I love it. From way back at the Pappion (sp) restaurant I worked at as a teen on Leon Ave. Anyone remember that place?
They had frog legs on the menu. That's a memory that stands out.
Anyone have a place or a go to recipe? Cooking for one makes it hard. Most of the time going out is cheaper and most certainly easier.

Definitely remember Papillon.
Were you there when Jean-Claude Berthier was there? I can picture the owner and his name is on the tip of my tongue but not quite there.

Re: Chicken cordon bleu
Seems a lifetime ago. I learned a lot there. About working hard and food. How to prepare very nice tasty dinners and desserts.

Re: Chicken cordon bleu
It was a really nice restaurant. My memory is failing on this a bit but wasn’t it in two different locations over the years?

You could try M&M Meats and just cook them as needed. Just a thought, we don't because I try to keep salt at a minimum.
My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?

Re: Chicken cordon bleu
I bet Costco sells them. I am going there today and could look.

Re: Chicken cordon bleu
Superstore has 2 or 3 varieties of chicken cordon bleu in the freezer section - 10 pcs. for $10. If you're handy in the kitchen and like prepping, why not make a batch then individually freeze until needed?

Re: Chicken cordon bleu
I just make my own, ramped up a notch.
I don`t butterfly the chicken.
Super easy;
I take one boneless skinless breast, spiced to preference, place a few slices
of favorite ham (Black Forest or Peppered for me) on top.
Then a favorite cheese, I use Jalapeno Havarti.
I then just take another spiced breast, place it on top sandwich style,
skewer it all together and bake.
I usually top with Parmesan when hot, might even add a med. salsa for fun.
Side with rice, or thai noodles.
K, now I`m hungry....

Re: Chicken cordon bleu
No need to butterly ... cut breast 3/4's of the way through, add ham and cheese, close, and do the flour, eggwash, breadcrumbs before baking or freezing. Or using a knife, cut a slot lengthwise then roll ham and cheese and place into slot. Again, do the flour, eggwash, breadcrumbs and bake or freeze.

Re: Chicken cordon bleu
I remember Papillon. My husband and I went on a dinner date there back when we were courting :) It was impressive.
I never had their cordon bleu though so can't compare. I have had both Costco and T-bones cordon bleu. They are both good, but I prefer Costco's as it has less bread coating than T-bones. That's just personal preference.
I used to make my own though. I'd pound the chicken to make it thin and place ham and cheese on it. Then just roll it up, using toothpicks to keep it in a roll and then do the egg wash/bread crumb dip. Fry it to make the coating brown and crispy, then bake in oven till cooked. A little time consuming but worth it.

Re: Chicken cordon bleu
For frozen we like the M&M Meatshops one - when they're on sale.
I haven't failed until I quit.
