Chef's Tips
Since the chicken cordon bleu rolls are thick, let them simmer in the sauce after frying to ensure they're fully cooked while allowing the rolls absorb the flavors.

- Delicious!! I made the recipe as written and served with garlic bread. It definitely took longer than 30-minutes, but that is fine. Flavors are amazing. Thank you for another go-to recipe, I will be making this again soon! A. Dizon
