    Why You’ll Want To Make My Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites

    • They are a crowd-pleaser. Everyone loves the combination of chicken, ham, and cheese, and the bite-sized format is perfect for parties and gatherings.
    • They're quick and easy to make with a simple and straightforward recipe.
    • They are a unique and creative way to serve chicken and impress your guests. 

    Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need For The Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites

    Ingredients for 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

    1. Place a single layer of frozen chicken nuggets on a lined baking sheet and bake according to the package directions.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of cheese should I use?

    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.

    What kind of ham should I use?

    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.

    How do I reheat Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites?

    Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites can be reheated in the oven, microwave, or air fryer.

    Can I freeze chicken cordon bleu bites?

    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.

    What are some dipping sauces that I can serve with Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites?

    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.
