| Notes: |
2023-01-18: We used 3 breasts, creating 6 entrees, served with Fingerling potatoes, and sliced tomatoes.
2022-05-09: An excellent batch with some to the freezer.
2018-08-25: We created a different version: Layered Chicken Cordon Blue.
2017-08-23: We used 1/2 the sauce and froze the rest. We layered the chicken and topped with the ham, cheese, breadcrumbs and then cheese.
2009-10-24: Our 1st try was very successful.
