Make sure the chicken is fully cooked.

Cook the frozen chicken cordon bleu for 17-20 minutes total until fully cooked. Flip the pieces halfway through the cooking time.

The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

The cheese might start to ooze out of the breading towards the end of the cooking time.

When cooked through, remove the cordon bleu and let them sit for 2 minutes before serving.

They taste great with a side of fingerling potatoes or baby potatoes and a side veggie like green beans or sweet potato cubes!

Storage Tips

Any leftovers can be stored in a sealed container and placed in the fridge.

Properly stored, it’ll last for up to 3-4 days. Keep in mind that the breading can get soft in the fridge so it’s best to eat these cooked cordon bleu sooner rather than later.

To reheat, we’d recommend the air fryer so that the breaded chicken stands a better chance of getting crispy again on the outside and heated through again evenly.

However, the microwave will also work.

    My frozen chicken cordon bleu came out perfect and so delish after 23 mins in air fryer. I serve it on a bed of white rice and pour Hollandaise sauce on top, omg it’s so YUM!!! Love my air fryer giving us that oven baked taste w/o heating up the house which is one thing you’d rather not do the 1st week of August in Las Vegas, NV. : )
