Cordon Bleu, contrary to popular belief, originated from Switzerland. A Swiss cookbook in 1949 has a recipe of a schnitzel filled with cheese which may be the inspiration for the cordon bleu variations. The term Cordon Bleu is French (that’s where most of the confusion comes from) meaning “Blue Ribbon.” Not related to the dish but there is a school in Paris, France (a very beautiful place by the way) called Le Cordon Bleu which happens to be the biggest hospitality school in the world. 

Here is my home made Crumbled Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe :
 
A little tip:  

The baking time for the dish may take around 30 minutes, which is a lot of free time. Instead of wasting your precious time, why not play in online websites like Partypoker.fr. In Partypoker, you can meet different kinds of people all over the world. You might even play against Frenchmen David Benyamine and Bertrand Grospellier, just some of the best professional poker players today. Did I also mention the amount of money you can win in the game? Just don’t get too hooked though, you might forget the dish you are cooking, which in this case is a very tasty Crumbled Chicken Cordon Bleu.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts (free range and removed skin)

3. Slice the cheese and the ham, and place them inside the chicken after.
4. Fold and secure the cuts with toothpicks.
5. In a bowl, place some breadcrumbs with pepper, salt and herbs.
6. Dip the chicken into the flour, covering each piece properly. Remove the excess by shaking it off.
