Cordon bleu
Cordon Bleu is a French dish that traditionally consists of chicken breast, ham, and cheese. The cheese is usually Gruyere, but can also be Swiss. The dish is named after the blue ribbon worn by knights of the highest order of the French Legion of Honour.
The dish was most likely created in the early 20th century. It was first mentioned in a cookbook in 1934, and became popular in the United States in the 1950s.
There are many different variations of Cordon Bleu, but the most common is the one with chicken, ham, and cheese. Other variations include adding mushrooms, onions, or other vegetables.
Advice
When making cordon bleu, the most important thing to keep in mind is that it takes time and patience. Start by pounding the chicken breasts into thin pieces and ensure the chicken is completely cooked through before adding the ham and cheese. When it comes to breading, use a combination of flour and breadcrumbs to get the perfect golden crunch. Finally, when it comes to the sauce, you can use a classic white wine sauce or even a creamy mushroom sauce for a delicious twist. In the end, it’s best to take your time and to be mindful of each step to ensure that the cordon bleu is as delicious as possible.
