Chicken Cordon Bleu Sort of....
Chicken Cordon Bleu. The name is French so it might scare you away. There are many different recipes for this spectacular dish though that aren't scary at all. This is my favorite one. It's not quite so fancy, but that's kinda how I like it. If you haven't had it you should try it...tonight! The combination of chicken, ham, and melted cheese heavenly, and in this recipe you get a small flavor punch from the green onions and mustard and a nice crunch from corn flakes. Really corn flakes were created for fabulous recipes. Eating them for breakfast is so old school.
