Gee, that is my main favorite course! I remember when I was younger I used to eat cordoun bleu like it was candy back at my old job in a retirement home!

Kirk I'd serve warm apple pie topped with a scoop of vanilla icecream afterwards

YUMMY

Sounds dry to me, you may want to add white wine sauce on that chicken cordon bleu.

cup of your natural chicken broth, salt, pepper, a teaspoon of finely diced eschallots (green), simmer to a boil then add your cream, stir with a whisk, a shot of white wine (the strenght is up to you), a handful of mozzarella cheese (this is just an option to make your cream a little tasty and to thicken fast). Once the cream is warm, pour with a 2oz ladle (zigzag or right on the middle). Garnished with edible orchid or just your normal parsley. VOILA!! impress your partner that your Chicken Cordon Bleu just became high class.

A nice touch to impress, square white plate, cherry tomatoes and shredded lettuce with pousse amarante (purple alfafa sprouts).

Enjoy!!

thats the basic recipe you can do the recipe with cream of mushroom soup,potatoes,mac and cheese rice or plenty of other things

yes true its basic, but thats what I do everyday so for me, its basic. nothing special really we sell em for $30 and that doesn't include anything else (no salad, no coffee, no drinks).

theres people who have never tried this recipe and for them its a new idea to make at home

yes,that is what it was for me

Nice. A couple of bucks worth of stuff...and ya sell it for 30 bucks.

I am SO in the wrong business.

People are gullible.

Something else you can do to keep it from drying out too much would be to sear it in a frying pan just to caramelize it and seal in some of the juices.

Also adds a little bit of a different, yet very good, flavor to it.

good idea

Food Network rules!!!

I tried making Cordon Bleu a while back and it dried out pretty badly.

Then I was watching Alton Brown and saw the idea for searing for an unrelated recipe but decided to give it a try for the chicken.

Worked pretty well.

I got an apple pie recipe from food network everyone loves it I posted it on hereits a little diffrent

Different is good sometimes.

But some of the stuff they make on those shows....

yes some stuff doesn't seem practical or edible I suppose we all have diffrent taste

Definitely...lol

I like taking some ideas from cooking shows

Oh me too. I love to cook and try to make new things.

For me to try it, though, I have to think that it looks AND sounds good.

I am allergic to onions in some forms, so there are a whole lot of recipes they make on there that I won't bother with because they all call for 5 onions or some crap like that. lol
