Delicious. Topped my cordon blue and salmon patties with this sauce. I added mixed vegetables to the sauce and it made a wonderful presentation.
Echo Blickenstaff says
That sounds amazing! I’m so glad you like the sauce!
Cate says
This came out so yummy! I had bought store bought cordon Bleu and it didn’t come with a sauce and I’m glad I found this recipe!
Laura says
Can I use half-and-half instead of heavy cream? I only ask because it’s what I have on hand already!
Echo Blickenstaff says
Yes, the sauce won’t be quite as thick, but it will still taste great!
Phil says
OMG! Had two chicken cordon bleu pieces so halved the recipe. Needless to say, chicken was smothered in sauce…and not one drop of sauce left on my plate! This is a keeper. Easy to make too. Thank you!
Echo Blickenstaff says
The sauce is the best! I’m so glad you love it too!

So good my Mom made this for us
Susan B Lincoln says

Thanks!
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.
Jackie says
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!!!

Thank you for including jump to recipe button.
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!
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!
Suzy says
I love how easy this is to put together! Simple but tasty!

This is a great meal and the sauce is the cherry on top! We have been using it on veggies and other chicken dishes too! So good!
Jen says
This sauce really kicks up this dish to a whole new level! It’s so creamy and delicious!
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.
Gina says
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!

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!
