Chicken Cordon WTF

I swear, if I ever follow a recipe seas will part. Water will be found on Mars. The secrets of alien intervention will be revealed on the pyramids. Crop circles will be explained. I took some boneless, skinless chicken thighs and seasoned them up with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, and browned them in a pan. I had six of them, so this will make three 'pieces.' When the chicken was done browning I turned them upside down in a greased casserole. I put one slice of Swiss cheese on, then three slices of ham, then another piece of swiss cheese, then right side up put another piece of chicken. Meanwhile, I made a mixture of cream of chicken soup, heavy whipping cream, and beef broth (since I did not have any chicken open but had beef). I made a liquidy mixture and poured that over the top. I am now baking it for about 45 minutes to an hour, and despite everything, I think it should be pretty good. It's NOT genuine chicken cordon bleu. So I am just calling it chicken cordon WTF. What's going on your dinner table tonight?

@porwest There are many Pancit recipes online to choose. You can find some on Panlasang Pinoy website. Do you want the Pancit Canton version or the Bihon (rice noodle) version? You can mix both too in a recipe. What meat do you like in it? Pork, beef or chicken? So I will write for you. I will pm you when I have written this on my notes. See you later.

@thelme55 I like it with the noodles and chicken or pork. I look forward to it, and I look forward to eating it too.

Speaking of Fillipino food, I need a good recipe for pancit. I love it but have not cooked it for years. I am sure I could probably find a good recipe online, but I bet you might have a good one. If you do, PM me. I'd love to have it.

As the old saying goes, before it was a recipe, it was an idea. I remember this being REALLY good, and I am glad I wrote it down here so I can actually repeat it if I want to.

@porwest Soup is always good especially in the winter time when it is cold

Leftover soup is always good too. Soup is one of those things that gets better and better after you make it...unless it goes bad of course, but soup never gets a chance to do that around here.

@Tina30219 Yep. Around here, winter is soup and casserole season. Always does the trick.

@NJChicaa Neither do I if I am just having soup. But for certain dishes I do use creamed soups and tomato soup.

Oh, it was delicious. Not sure how the soup kills it, honestly. When one makes no peak chicken you use a can of cream of chicken in a rice mixture.

Sounds delicious. Have not made it before but have eaten it out in restaurants.

Well, this was not chicken cordon bleu in the finer sense of the description. For that one needs to take their chicken and pound it out, fill it and roll it, bread it, and do some other things to make it 'genuine.' This was a modified idea based on an established idea... But it was DELICIOUS.

I'm dying over the name of your dish

. It actually sounds good (trying to cook that in my head as you described it). Tonight we are having Persian food . . .part leftover, and adding a stew.

@porwest So how did it end up tasting? Persian (Iranian) food - I love it - but I was exposed to a lot of it where I worked - and have been to Persian restaurants a zillion times. I suggest trying it a restaurant first to see if you like it before attempting to make it at home (after all, you did mention that you were rich and didn't mind to cheat

).

lol. Glad you liked the name of my dish.

As for Persian food, not sure I have ever eaten any of it. I probably should look up some recipes.

@much2say The dish turned out way better than I expected and is definitely a keeper. I will doing this one many times. As for eating genuine Persian food before trying to make it home, this is probably a good idea, and yes, I certainly can afford it. lol I guess it is best to compare my concoctions to the real thing before deciding what I think about it. lol

Sometimes, we end up with a good dish out from the scratch. For today's lunch, it's fried chicken rice. It's a drumstick my favorite part.

I used to love the drumstick, but often times I find it's just not enough meat for me. I opt for chicken thighs and chicken leg quarters more often than not.
