Chicken Cordon Bleu is a classic dish rooted in European cuisine, particularly French and Swiss culinary traditions. It consists of a chicken breast that is pounded thin, then stuffed with slices of savory ham and creamy Swiss cheese. The stuffed chicken is carefully rolled, breaded, and either baked or fried to achieve a crisp golden crust. While the combination of lean chicken breast provides a source of protein, the dish's richness comes from the cheese and ham, which contribute fats and sodium. The breading adds carbohydrates and calories, especially if fried. Typically served with a side of vegetables or salad, it can be balanced in a meal with lighter accompaniments. While indulgent, moderation and preparation methods like baking instead of frying can make this comfort food a more heart-healthy option.
