I found this recipe in my wife’s “draft recipes” and completed it. This is her take on chicken Cordon Bleu updated for a faster, simpler cook. It takes very little time and there’s no rolling, breading or wondering if it’s done. The sauce is lightened up but still creamy and very flavorful. It can also be made ahead and broiled right before serving.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
