How do you get the cordon bleu in the chicken cordon bleu?

Answer 1

The way I've always seen it done is to pound the chicken flat between two sheets of wax paper with a rolling pin. Then you put a slice of ham and slices of cheese over it, roll it up, and secure with toothpicks.

Answer 2

i take a thick chicken breast, slice a little pocket in it, and put the ingredients inside(go beyond the classic cordon bleu and use anything you want--such as broccoli and cheese, yum!). then secure with a skewer that has been soaked in water for at least 2 hours. coat with breadcrumbs using the classic egg, flour, breadcrumb method, and bake.
remove skewers and serve.
much easier than pounding and rolling if you ask me. ;-)

Answer 3

It's a flattened out chicken breast with ham and a slice of swiss cheese which you put in the middle of the chicken breast and roll up, dip in egg and breading and fry up.
