- Remove toothpicks from each chicken roll. Slice into medallions or serve whole. Drizzle the warm Dijon mustard sauce over the chicken or serve it on the side for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- Cheese options: Gruyère or provolone can be used in place of Swiss cheese.
- Make-ahead: Rolls can be assembled and refrigerated (uncooked) for up to 24 hours. Bread just before cooking for best texture.
- To freeze: Freeze breaded, uncooked rolls on a tray. Transfer to freezer bags once solid. Cook from frozen, adding extra time to ensure they cook through.
- Serving ideas: Serve with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad for a balanced plate.
Whether baked or fried, this Chicken Cordon Bleu offers the perfect blend of crispy coating, melty cheese, and savoury ham—elevated further by the tangy creaminess of a Dijon mustard sauce. An impressive yet accessible dish that always satisfies.
