Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons salted butter

MICROWAVE CHICKEN CORDON BLEU



Microwave Chicken Cordon Bleu image

This is from Light & Tasty. I haven't tried it but it sounds interesting. It's made in the microwave. The original recipe states "1 envelope seasoned coating mix" so I guessed 8 ounces for the amount. I suppose you could use anything from a pre-packaged mix to cornflakes. I hope it's as good as it sounds!
