GRILLED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

You didn’t think grilling season was over, did you? We grill all year long here in Florida and I’ve become quite proficient at the grill. I know many of you ladies out there are intimidated by the grill. Trust me. It’s not that scary and once you learn how you will be so glad you did. I learned because I was sick of waiting until my husband got home from work to start dinner. Today I’m sharing a recipe for Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu. I know you’re thinking, “Why do I need to grill that?”

I’m telling you that when you grill chicken it adds that subtle smoky flavor that compliments the ham and cheese flavors found inside traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu.

I’m particular about some things when I cook. First of all, my meat has to be top of the line. It’s just not worth it to me to skimp on quality.
