What it is

The breading provides a crispy exterior when cooked, while the ham and cheese melt into a savory center. It offers a convenient way to enjoy a classic dish.

To prepare, you can bake this cordon bleu in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches a safe level. Alternatively, it can be pan-fried in a little oil until crispy and heated through. Ensure the cheese inside is melted and the chicken is fully cooked before serving. It is designed to be cooked from its frozen state, making meal preparation straightforward and efficient.

Unlike a homemade cordon bleu, this product is pre-assembled and ready for cooking. The breading and filling are already in place, saving time on preparation.
