September 2024 Cooking Challenge

Chicken Cordon Bleu

This recipe might sound fancy but it’s so easy to make at home! Made with chicken breasts, smokey ham, and gooey Swiss cheese, it’s the perfect recipe to make when you want to impress.

Get creative and have fun! Swap the ham for bacon, prosciutto, or thinly sliced turkey. Try topping it with your favorite cheese, like provolone or cheddar cheese. I can’t wait to see what you create!

Looking for an alternate recipe? This chicken cordon bleu casserole has all the best parts of chicken cordon bleu tossed with pasta for the perfect hearty dish. It’s easy to make ahead and is great as a freezer meal!

After you make your version of my Chicken Cordon Bleu (remember, any variation is fine!), send a picture of your creation to cookingchallenge@spendwithpennies.com.

3 images including an ipad with a recipe in it, polaroid photos of lasagna, and an email symbol on an envelope

  2. Snap a photo of your creation.
  3. Email photos to cookingchallenge@spendwithpennies.com by the last day of the month at 11:59 PM PST for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

  1. I made the chicken cordon bleu casserole recipe for September. I split it into two to share with my daughter/son-in-law. It was a HOME RUN! Warm, creamy goodness. Thanks so much for sharing and encouraging us to try new ideas. {:>Barb
