As the weather turns warmer, my family likes to spend as much time outdoors as possible. We love get-togethers in the park, camping in the mountains, or just hanging out in the backyard together. This easy-to-make Cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu Melts recipe is the perfect quick lunch or dinner to fuel your family while you’re enjoying being together.

Ingredients for Chicken Cordon Bleu Melts

Making Chicken Cordon Bleu Melts

You’ll want to start with great ingredients – a crusty loaf of sour dough bread, thin chicken cutlets, pre-sliced Black Forest Ham, and of course plenty of Swiss Cheese Slices. You definitely don’t want to skimp on the cheese on this sandwich. You’ll want that hot melted deliciousness on top.

Chicken cutlets are available at the grocery store, but they’re easy to make at home as well. Just take a boneless, skinless chicken breast and use a sharp knife to cut it in half horizontally.

Butter the bottom side of your bread first before you start building the sandwich. Use a generous amount of butter because you want a crunchy, golden brown, toasted bottom to your sandwich.

Then spread Dijon mustard on the top side of the bread. Use more or less Dijon depending on how much you and your family like mustard.

Preheat your grill while you’re getting the ingredients ready. If your grill is pre-heated, the chicken cutlets will cook in less than five minutes. Because the cutlets are so thin you’ll want to flip them as soon as they release easily from the grill.

I have a grill stone that I cooked my sandwiches on once the chicken cutlets were grilled. It’s a great accessory for the grill, but you could also finish the sandwiches right on the grill, or in a skillet or even in your oven.
