Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu – Griddled to Perfection
Chicken Cordon Bleu, but make it crispy. This griddle-style version of the classic, cheesy, ham-stuffed favorite is easy to make and packed with bold flavors. Instead of rolling and stuffing the chicken, we’re keeping it simple—crispy, golden-breaded chicken, stacked with Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, and smoky ham, all cooked on the griddle for maximum flavor.
The real MVP? A double-dipped Panko-Parmesan crust, seasoned with Big Poppa’s Desert Gold & Little Louie’s Seasoning for the perfect balance of garlic, herbs, and citrus. Served over buttery mashed potatoes with rich gravy, this dish is an absolute knockout.
You don’t need a fancy oven setup—just fire up the griddle and let the crispy, melty goodness do the talking.
