Quick Chicken Cordon Bleu image

I used this speedy microwave recipe the first time I made chicken cordon bleu. Although I've since tried other recipes that bake in the oven, this remains the quickest...and the best. The moist chicken and flavorful cheese sauce make this entree perfect for a special occasion. -Shirley Jackson, Elkton, Virginia

The chicken was a little dry, but the ham and cheese were good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for and it was still delicious.

Just made this for dinner and it turned out great! The chicken was moist and flavorful and the ham and cheese were melted and gooey. I served it with roasted potatoes and a side salad and it was a perfect meal.
