Deep Dish Chicken Cordon Blue

The classic recipe with chicken, ham and Swiss is actually American in origin. This easy version swaps the fussy "rolling" step for a simple open presentation topped with melted cheese. 15 minutes and dinner is served!

What You'll Need

• 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (8 rolls)


• 2 tablespoons unsalted or salted butter


• 1 tablespoon Crisco® 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Pure Olive Oil


• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced


• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped


• 1 box (13.25 oz) frozen baked honey-battered chicken tenders, thawed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, or 1 deli rotisserie chicken (2 to 2 1/2 lb), shredded


• 16 slices (1 oz each) Muenster cheese


• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


• 1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing


• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard


• 2 teaspoons lemon juice


• 1 teaspoon honey


• 1 teaspoon horseradish sauce or cream-style prepared horseradish


• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme leaves


• 1lb shaved cooked brown-sugar or maple-glazed ham (from deli)

How to Make It

1.  Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Unroll crescent rolls in baking dish; press perforations to seal. Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown.


2.  Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Remove from heat; stir in cut-up chicken tenders.


3.  Place 8 slices of the Muenster cheese over baked crust. In small bowl, stir Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, honey, horseradish sauce and thyme until well blended. Spoon half of the mayonnaise mixture evenly over cheese on crust.


4.  Spoon chicken mixture evenly over mayonnaise mixture on crust. Spoon remaining mayonnaise mixture evenly over chicken. Cover chicken evenly with ham. Top with remaining 8 slices Muenster cheese.


5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and filling is thoroughly heated.
