Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe


Chicken Cordon Bleu

With Mediterranean Variations

This Classic Cordon Bleu Recipe can be made with Veal or Pork Fillet but we'd like you to try the Chicken Breast version, because it is freely available and easy to work with. Also, if not handled properly, it can be quite tasteless and dry, but this way, it is succulent and bursting with flavour.

Try the classic way first, just to get into the way of working with stuffing and then you can experiment with your own variations on the theme. We like to make a garlic butter stuffing whizzed with roasted red peppers - a kind of mediterranean Chicken Kiev. Or a spoonfull of Ratatouille makes a great alternative.

It's a bit like a blank canvas - you can personalise it any way you like, but do try the classic way first, you may never want to change it.
