Hey Melissa-
Haha are you SURE you want this information?? Ignorance is bliss, right?
To be honest, I have NO CLUE the nutritional information on this recipe. I know there are some sites like WeightWatchers or other online diet sites that will let you enter in a recipe, how many it serves, etc.. and it will tell you the nutritional information. Hope this helps!

Does the chicken remain browned and crispy despite cooking it in a braise of liquid?
Favorite Family Recipes says
It’s only a bit of liquid so most of it should stay brown and crispy!
Lisalia says
YUMMY – this sauce is so good. It’s the magic key to making my kids eat steamed broccoli! They love it. And so do I.
Jen says

Getting ready to start making this Cordon Bleu chicken stuffed with broccoli rabe for the first time
Suzy says
I love how easy this is to put together! Simple but tasty!
Joyce says
Getting ready to make this a second time. Made it last week, and it was wonderful. The left overs can be used on veggies, like asparagus or over scrambled or fried eggs!
Jamie says
I am you use bouillon cubes instead? If so how many would I use
Favorite Family Recipes says
You would have to use 1/2 of a cube for this recipe. Or you could double the recipe!

Thank you for including jump to recipe button.

I made chicken cordon bleu bites and made this sauce to go with it. Ummmm, I “taste tasted” (ate) 1/4 of the pan and had to make more for our dish. 😆 Only thing I would add was a pinch of sea salt. This sauce is going in my books for next time. Thank you!!!
Augusta says
I made this to go along with chicken cordon bleu that I got already prepared from the butcher. The sauce was amazing and made the dish! Will definitely be using this recipe again. I didn’t have chicken broth on hand so made broth with a bouillon cube. Then used half of a bouillon cube for the bouillon powder.
