Cordon Bleu with Almond Crumb
Make on Fresco
Le Cordon Bleu is a world renowned cooking school actually and literally means blue ribbon, denoting excellence. Chicken Cordon Bleu is of Swiss origin & excellent of course, thus the name. I mean what is not excellent about a ham and cheese stuffed and 'fried' (or baked in this case), chicken breast.
We decided to go gluten free thus making this dish also keto or low carb. YOU'RE WELCOME! It was amazing. And served up with a simple salad is extremely hearty especially if you have bigger breasts...who thought that sentence would ever show up on a food blog!
Enjoy...Pretty sure you will then understand why it is named thus!
