Don't get me wrong...I love classic chicken cordon bleu in all its gloriousness. I really do. But sometimes I want an easier way. Less work but same delicious flavors and taste. Enter Chicken Cordon Bleu the Easy Way. Simply put,
Make a quick version of the classic soup for a refreshingly light supper. Toasted French bread topped with a light Boursin cheese adds great flavor to the meal and is a tasty stand-in for the standard grilled cheese sandwich.
The home-style flavors of baked potatoes topped with tender barbecue chicken and all the fixin's go perfectly with old-fashioned banana pudding. Top the pudding with some beautiful strawberries, and you've got a fresh new angle on a classic dessert.Prep: 5 minutes; Cook: 12 minutes
Though filling enough as a main dish, you can also serve smaller portions of this creamy, cheesy casserole as a tasty side to scrambled eggs. We enjoyed the way the Classic Melts cheese blend melted over the casserole; substitute cheddar cheese if you can't find this product.
Add a refreshing note to summer meals with this main-dish salad of grilled chicken chunks, black beans, mangos, corn, lime juice, cilantro and Italian dressing.
Enjoy this classic dessert with just a little twist. The slight of bourbon to fortify the rich pecan filling, and a topping of semi sweet chocolate ganache all wrapped up in a sweet pastry dough! This Bourbon Pecan Pie is sure to please! Yes Virginia, there is more to life than takeout and the microwave
This lighter version of an Italian favorite loses some of the fat but none of the taste. We recommend rice-shaped orzo pasta with this saucy chicken entree, but you can serve spaghetti or angel hair pasta instead.
Best Beef Recipe. This classic French braised beef, red wine, and vegetable stew is simple and delicious. It stands above all of our other beef recipes because it offers the homey comfort and convenience of pot roast yet is versatile and sophisticated enough for entertaining. Garnish with chopped fresh thyme. --Recipe by Lia Huber (November 2004)
