Notes

  • Be sure to cook your Chicken Cordon Bleu quesadilla over medium heat. If your heat is too hot, the quesadilla will be golden brown before the cheese is melted and the fillings are warmed through.
  • Store-bought breaded chicken may be used instead of adding breadcrumbs to your Chicken Cordon Bleu quesadilla.
  • Grated cheese may be used instead of sliced cheese for your Chicken Cordon Bleu quesadilla.
  • Exact amounts of ingredients may vary depending on how much you add to your Chicken Cordon Bleu quesadilla!
  • This recipe makes enough Parmesan Dijon sauce for several Chicken Cordon Bleu quesadillas. It’s easy to make as many quesadillas as you want!
  • You can make your own breadcrumbs by putting bread heels in a food processor and processing them until they are in crumbs. Bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes.
