Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need For The Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites
- Frozen Chicken Nuggets: I used the Just Bare brand because they taste just like Chick-fil-A nuggets.
- Ham and Swiss cheese: You'll want twice as many pieces of each as nuggets that you're using, cut into one-inch squares.
Steps to Make the Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites
- Place a single layer of frozen chicken nuggets on a lined baking sheet and bake according to the package directions.
- Remove from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack.
- Top each nugget with a one-inch piece of Swiss cheese, two one-inch pieces of ham, and finally, another one-inch piece of Swiss cheese.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about five minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need For The Dipping Sauce
- Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and honey: You can just as easily use a pre-made Honey Mustard dipping sauce.
Here's How to Make Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
Combine Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and honey in a small bowl and whisk together. It's that easy!
Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites are a sophisticated and elegant appetizer that is sure to impress your guests. They are also relatively easy to make, so you won't have to spend hours in the kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Swiss cheese is the traditional cheese used in Chicken Cordon Bleu, but you can use any type of cheese that you like. Other popular choices include cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and provolone cheese.
I used honey ham, but you can use any type of ham that you like. Other popular choices include prosciutto, Black Forest, and smoked ham.
Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites can be reheated in the oven, microwave, or air fryer.
No, since you're using frozen chicken nuggets to begin with, I would advise against refreezing them after they've been topped and baked with the ham and cheese.
My preferred dipping sauce is honey mustard. However, you can serve these with a variety of sauces, including ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, marinara, or whatever sauce is your favorite. They're also good without the sauce.
Recipe Tips And Tricks
- There's no need to make your own chicken nuggets; the frozen ones work just as well.
- You don't need to make your own dipping sauce; a pre-made sauce will be just as tasty.
