- For many brands of frozen cordon bleu the chicken is raw (we used raw frozen chicken cordon bleu for this recipe). So please ensure your are cooking the chicken through fully. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- You don’t have to defrost the chicken cordon bleu first. You can just add the frozen chicken to the preheated air fryer.
- The cheese may ooze out through the breading towards the end of the cooking time. This is normal, but keep ay eye on it!
We use this air fryer for our recipes and it has been great.

First, preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the air fryer is hot, add the frozen chicken cordon bleu.
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.
