Chicken Cordon Bleu
This is one of my son, Anthony’s favorite food. He used to ask me to make it for him all the time. I got this out of the Lion House Recipes, cookbook. I have made this for Relief society dinners, birthday dinners and Sunday dinners. It takes a little bit of time, but is delicious.
