Chicken Cordon Bleu is known for its French origins, but Filipinos have created their own version of the dish. Usually served in Filipino weddings and fiestas, Chicken Cordon Bleu is well loved because of the crispiness that calls you to take more bites of it, and the sweet ham and cheesy center just really takes us back to the base of yummy goodness.
Although the dish sounds fancy and expensive, it really has only three key ingredients, the tender chicken breast, sweet Smokey ham and Swiss cheese for that gooey center.
