To prepare, simply heat the Cordon Bleu style chicken breast until it is thoroughly warmed through and the breading is crisp. This can be done in an oven, a toaster oven, or even a skillet on the stovetop. For oven preparation, place the item on a baking sheet and heat at a moderate temperature until hot. If pan-frying, use a little oil and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally. Ensure the cheese inside is melted and the chicken is heated to a safe temperature.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a traditional homemade Cordon Bleu, this product is pre-assembled and cooked, saving significant preparation time. The breading may differ in texture and thickness compared to homemade versions, and the cheese and ham are integrated during the manufacturing process.
