Nicely done. The crispy parts are the best.

This looks so good, I haven't had a Cordon bleu in years! Any chance of a recipe?

There's a face in this picture, and it appears to be very happy to have been made into food.

I could never, for the life of me, wrap them up perfectly. Also, mornay is a really good sauce for that!

Looks more like a flamenquin than a cordon bleu

Isn't flamenquin made with pork? And has no cheese in it?

Pork, yes. Although I've also seen it with veal. Cordon bleu is also traditionally made from pork, although nowadays veal is considered the norm (probably because Wiener Schnitzel is made from veal). OP made it from chicken, so it's neither - is that what you're saying? imho using chicken is fine.

As for cheese - the original flamenquin recipe is without cheese, but nowadays it's imho more common to receive ot with cheese, even in Cordoba/Andalusia itself, where it originated. (And in tapas bars you can find it with all kinds of fillings, like aspargus.)

It sounds like you're just used to a similar food. This is chicken cordon bleu. So now you know.

I'm literally Swiss, born in Switzerland, grew up in Switzerland and lived in Switzerland almost all my life. Pretty sure I know cordon bleu (a Swiss dish) rather well.

But I never said this wasn't a cordon bleu. The two dishes are extremely similar, particularly in their modern forms. I just said it looks like flamenquin.

Cordon bleu isn't served sliced like this, flamenquin is. And cordon bleu isn't served with sauce, but flamenquin usually is.

Well perhaps consider that people do things differently in other countries...

Anyway, it's chicken cordon bleu! Have a good one.
