According to the classic recipe, "Cordon Bleu" is prepared from veal, but it can not always be found in the store, and the prices for it are quite high. But the chicken breast is always available.
For the base of the dish, you can use chicken, turkey, pork or veal.
For a richer flavor, you can take a raw smoked ham. And use cheese that melts well and has a slightly sweet taste.
When cooking chicken meat, rolls are simply well fried on all sides. And if they are cooked on other meat, then it will be necessary to sweat them a little under the lid.
"Cordon Bleu" can be found in French and Swiss cuisine. And you can cook it not only in a frying pan, but also in the oven.
