Recipe by : Ariel Jasa, Mandaluyong City, Philippines |
Cordon Bleu, though not a local dish, is often found in Filipino cookbooks under International Cuisine. It has a fancy sounding name, that is served popularly in special occasions and wedding receptions.
Chicken Cordon bleu is simply chicken stuffed with ham and cheese, then breaded and fried or baked to have that crispy exterior.
For this recipe, I use chicken fillet and pounded it to roll evenly with the ham and cheese filling.
Then I rolled in seasoned breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown.
