To prepare, remove the frozen cordon bleu from its packaging. It can be cooked in an oven or an air fryer. For oven baking, place it on a baking sheet and cook until the chicken is thoroughly heated and the breading is golden brown and crispy.

The internal temperature should reach a safe level for consumption.
