This Chicken Cordon Bleu Sauce is incredible! It is so creamy and the flavor is to die for. I could eat the sauce alone with a spoon and be completely happy.
Chicken Cordon Bleu Sauce
A Chicken Cordon Bleu without a delicious, creamy sauce is like a a French fry without ketchup. It just ain’t right. This sauce is the perfect complement to homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu or significantly enhances flavor and elegance to store bought Chicken Cordon Bleu. It is rich and creamy, just as a good chicken sauce or gravy should be!

I doubled the recipe and followed it accordingly. Two tablespoons of basil is way too much basil. I suggest for anyone who is doubling the recipe to either just use one tablespoon of basil or even one half of a tablespoon of basil. That’s plenty. This recipe could probably even do without the basil.
I tried the recipe.i tell you it was amazing.Anyway I appreciate you thumbs up
Thank you for sharing this!
I do not really have a comment as I am going to be making this tonight for the first time, but was curious to know how much this recipe makes, in regards to volume? I was going to make a chicken cordon bleu casserole with noodles and was going to use this as the sauce but was not sure if 1 batch would be enough or if I would need more than that? I am making a casserole in a 13×9 pan. Thanks!
It makes about 2 cups of sauce. That casserole sounds delicious!
This sauce is delicious! Takes the chicken over the top!
Yum, this looks delicious. I bet my family would love this for dinner. I’ll make this tonight.
