Chicken Cordon Bleu is a classic dish with French origins, featuring a breaded and fried chicken breast stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese. The crispy golden crust contrasts with the melty, savory filling, making it a popular choice for indulgent dinners. While it’s high in protein thanks to the chicken and cheese, it can also be rich in fat and sodium due to the use of butter, cheese, and ham, as well as its fried preparation. For a healthier twist, some recipes bake the chicken instead of frying or use leaner ingredients like low-sodium ham and reduced-fat cheese. Although it’s a decadent choice, moderate portions and mindful ingredient swaps can make this flavorful dish part of a balanced diet.
