Our Chicken Cordon Bleu (30 October 2016)


Chicken Cordon Bleu, or "blue ribbon chicken", is a famous French-Swiss chicken dish that was probably created in the 1940s. I am not sure whether it has any connection to the famous Paris cooking school, Le Cordon Bleu, where the famous American cooking teacher, Julia Child, trained when she was living in Paris.

Well, it's not de rigueur to use chicken - in fact, the dish calls for veal, in which case, you'd simply call it cordon bleu. But we love chicken, so chicken it is for ours. We used chicken breast and two types of ham, as well as Swiss cheese, which we put inside the roll and add another one over it after the frying. I wasn't sure whether we did it successfully, until I tasted our chicken cordon bleu, and then yes, I can say it is absolutely delicious. I love how the melted Swiss cheese blends with the taste of the ham and chicken meat. Perfect. I look forward to having this dish again, if my wife ever comes around to cooking it once more.
