I have always loved the packaged chicken cordon bleu that we bought at the store. What I didn’t like was that it cost $1.25 per chicken. When you have 12 people to buy for, that makes this dinner very costly. So we stopped buying it. I was sharing with my neighbor Kathy what we were having for dinner and she said she was having homemade chicken cordon bleu. I was like, “really?” you made it? I didn’t realize how easy it was to make, so for my daughters birthday this year we decided to make it for our family dinner. f
For each person you will need 1 boneless skinless chicken breast. Pound it as thin as you can get it. This I failed on a bit and as you can see my chicken was a little plump—live and learn.
Then take 2-3 thin slices of deli ham and a piece of provolone cheese and wrap it all up together around the chicken.
Dip the chicken in bread crumbs and place seem side down in a glass baking dish. 
Bake 350 for about an hour, test your chicken for doneness. We like to serve ours with fettuccine noodles and alfredo sauce. A great meal that is for sure added to our monthly rotation.
Hi Amy,
Are you able to make this and freeze it while the chicken is raw? Do you cook it from the frozen state, or do you thaw it first? That is a question on all of the meals I am making of yours. Do I thaw them first?
You can make it and freeze it raw, yes. I try and cook from a thawed state but if you don’t get it out in time then it has to be cooked frozen:)
