This will be my first attempt to make Cordon Bleu. However, the recipe says to make it with Swiss. Thanks to my wonderful hubby, who eats 4-6 cold cut sandwiches again, I ran out. And it's pouring outside. Can I substitute Swiss for Provolone? I know it won't be the same, but will it defeat the purpose of the dish? And if it will defeat the purpose, what other yummy, cheesy, easy-to-make chicken baked recipes can anyone recommend me? Thanks a ton.

Yes. Nobody likes the Suisse anyways.

I think the provolone will work fine. Here's another idea for chicken (but you might have to go to the store)....
There's a new shake 'n bake that's Parmesan blend. The recipe on the back of the box is a low-cal chicken parmesan that is really pretty good. Even my 2 toddlers eat it. It's basically using the shake 'n bake on the chicken, baking the chicken and then adding marinara sauce and a little mozzarella and baking for a couple more minutes.
Good luck!

I can't tell the difference between the 2 kind of cheeses. I use provolone on my chicken all the time.

oh yes you can defiantly sub provolone for Swiss i hate Swiss cheese and i usually do sub it when making cordon blue but extra sharp white cheddar works wonders also with this ham and chicken dish.

You can substitute the swiss with provolone. It will still taste good, just different. Any cheese would work. American, cheddar - any that you like.

any cheese you % realy, you're able to do a combination of cheese attempt some cream cheese, cheddar, smoked gouda, Havarti could be awsome with the two the caraway seed or dill weed. I make tuna casserole alot and continuously change it up on the cheese purely for various flavors!!

Sure you can substitute it. The provolone won't be as sharp, but it will still be good.

Swiss just has a different, sharper flavor. Switching the cheeses will not ruin the dish...it will just make it different.

Yes,, also sprinkle Parmesan and bake more to add a crust to the topping.
