A Chicken Cordon Bleu without a delicious, creamy sauce is like a French fry without ketchup. It just ain’t right. This easy sauce is the perfect complement to our homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu, or significantly enhances flavor and elegance to store bought Chicken Cordon Bleu. But it doesn’t stop there! I love putting this rich and creamy sauce over potatoes, fried chicken, meatballs, and more.
Making the Sauce
What I love about this sauce is that it is SO easy to make and it doesn’t require a roux. You simply just bring the ingredients to a simmer and then add the thickeners a little at a time. By doing it this way you can easily control the thickness of the sauce and make it to your liking. I prefer a slightly thicker sauce so I use almost all of the cornstarch mixture but it can easily be cut back to make a thinner sauce.
Tips and Suggestions
Make it all in one pan – To reduce mess, make your chicken cordon bleu in a skillet. I like using a cast iron skillet because it can go from the stovetop to the oven and stay in the same pan. After the chicken cooks, make the sauce in the same skillet. You will pick up those savory bits of chicken and it will make the sauce even better! Try it in a saucepan – If you are baking or roasting your chicken cordon bleu, the sauce can easily be made in a saucepan on the stove. Add more flavor – Add a bit of basil or some paprika to add another dimension to your sauce.
More Ways to Use this Sauce
There are many delicious dishes besides cordon bleu that are made even better with this sauce. Here are some ideas:
Use it as a pizza sauce! Spread this creamy sauce over pizza dough, then add mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, black olives, mushrooms, onions, garlic, bacon, green peppers, parmesan cheese, red onions, all your favorite toppings, and bake. Delicious twist on traditional pizza! Give your ketchup and bbq sauce a break and use this cordon bleu sauce for chicken nuggets. The kids will love it! Try it as a warm dip for French bread, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli or cauliflower. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, etc.
