Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken Cordon Bleu is a breaded and fried croquette made with tender chicken breast, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese. The chicken is pounded thin, wrapped around the ham and cheese, then coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown and crispy. The dish is often served with a creamy Dijon mustard sauce, resulting in a rich and indulgent flavor profile.

For the crispy, buttery Chicken Cordon Bleu, a white wine like Fiano is a great pairing choice. Fiano's medium body and crisp acidity will cut through the richness of the dish, while its subtle nutty and honey notes complement the savory flavors of the ham and cheese. A sparkling wine would also work well to balance the fried texture and refresh the palate.
