Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu – Griddled to Perfection

Name: Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe | Griddle Recipe
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 chicken breast cutlets; 2 eggs (beaten, for egg wash); 1 tsp Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s Seasoning; ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs; ½ cup grated Parmesan; 1 tsp Big Poppa’s Desert Gold Seasoning; 4 slices Swiss cheese; 4 slices ham; 4 slices bacon; 2 cups mashed potatoes; 1 cup gravy; 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish); Oil (for cooking)

Chicken Cordon Bleu, but make it crispy. This griddle-style version of the classic, cheesy, ham-stuffed favorite is easy to make and packed with bold flavors. Instead of rolling and stuffing the chicken, we’re keeping it simple—crispy, golden-breaded chicken, stacked with Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, and smoky ham, all cooked on the griddle for maximum flavor.

The real MVP? A double-dipped Panko-Parmesan crust, seasoned with Big Poppa’s Desert Gold & Little Louie’s Seasoning for the perfect balance of garlic, herbs, and citrus. Served over buttery mashed potatoes with rich gravy, this dish is an absolute knockout.

You don’t need a fancy oven setup—just fire up the griddle and let the crispy, melty goodness do the talking.

In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s Seasoning.
