Beautiful Stuffed Breasts
In looking for side dishes for Chicken Cordon Bleu I've discovered that the French have quite the penchant for canned mushrooms. I decided to try a classic French-Style Green Bean accompaniment and some simple Roasted Rosemary Baby Potatoes. Shannon usually avoids a green bean and mushroom side dish like the plague, but this simple, tender version helped her finish all her vegetables! You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that doesn't enjoy a simple roasted potato recipe. This is a classic no matter where in the Western hemisphere you happen to find yourself.
Since the chicken must be flattened and rolled, it's probably a good idea to avoid misshapen breasts. I also think that calling this dish "beautiful stuffed breasts" would help to satisfy the appetite of any heterosexual man who had this plate put in front of him. I prefer Provolone to Swiss cheese in chicken cordon bleu, but I find it odd that neither of these cheeses are French and were always the recommended choices in the recipes I've seen. This is somewhat unfortunate as I could see this recipe be equally tasty stuffed with brie, but I suppose equally tasty does not justify a larger ding in the pocketbook.
