Introduction
Chicken cordon bleu is one of my favorite meals to make. It’s easy, it’s delicious, and it takes about half an hour from start to finish!
Cook chicken for about 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Cook the chicken for about 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce in a saucepan or skillet over medium heat.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce in a saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until melted, then whisk in flour to make a roux (this will help thicken your sauce). Cook for 1 minute, then slowly pour in milk while whisking constantly until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat; stir in cheese until melted before serving on top of chicken cordon bleu.
The sauce should bubble until it thickens and reduces.
The sauce should bubble until it thickens and reduces. The sauce should be creamy and smooth. It should have a rich, nutty flavor that contrasts with the salty ham and cheese in your chicken cordon bleu.
The sauce should also have a light buttery flavor from the cream or milk used to make it. You can use stock instead of water if you want to give your dish more depth of flavor, but keep in mind that it will also make your dish richer so you may need less butter than usual if this is the case! Finally, don’t forget about seasoning: don’t go overboard with salt because there’s already plenty thanks to all those ingredients listed above–just add enough so that everything tastes good together (not too salty).
Remove the cooked chicken from the oven, slice thinly, and layer with cheese in a casserole dish or baking pan.
Remove the cooked chicken from the oven, slice thinly and layer with cheese in a casserole dish or baking pan. Bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees F until bubbly and golden brown on top.
