Where does chicken cordon bleu get its name?

While chicken cordon bleu gets its name from the French term for blue ribbon (denoting excellence), this dish actually stems from Switzerland.  The breaded chicken base is commonly known around the world as schnitzel.

A meal of schnitzel usually consists of a piece of meat, pounded thin, then breaded and pan-fried or baked.

What does Cordon Bleu stand for?

The French term cordon bleu is translated as “blue ribbon”. The blue ribbon is a symbol of high quality.

The association comes from The Blue Riband, a prize awarded for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by passenger liners and, prior to that from Cordon Bleu, which referred to the blue ribbon worn by the French knightly Order of the Holy Spirit.

The spelling blue riband is still encountered in most English-speaking countries. But in the United States, the term was altered to blue ribbon, and ribbons of this colour came to be awarded for first place in certain athletic or other competitive endeavours.

Chicken cordon bleu is traditionally a schnitzel or a flattened patty of meat layered with ham and swiss cheese, breadcrumbed and then deep-fried. However, keeping health in mind we are going to bake this chicken cordon bleu with some modifications that depend upon available ingredients.

Enjoy the goodness of these cheesy chicken hammed rollups. Simple stuff high in taste as a chicken cordon bleu bake.

Notes: I have used smoked salt but you can use regular salt. I have used freshly cracked peppercorns, however, you can use black pepper if peppercorns are not available. I usually use Nutrichoice crackers instead of breadcrumbs, however, you can use regular homemade breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs depending upon availability.

Remember to season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper. The recipes all over call for using dijon mustard, however, I chose to use our local kasundi mustard.
