Cuisine: French
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- French bread, for dipping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cooked chicken, diced; 1 cup of diced ham; 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese; 1 cup of cream; 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard; salt and pepper to taste; and French bread for dipping.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced chicken and diced ham over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure the meats are heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the chicken and ham are heated, reduce the heat to low and add the shredded Swiss cheese to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the cheese begins to melt and blend with the meats.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream and Dijon mustard until well combined. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan with the melted cheese, stirring constantly to create a smooth, creamy fondue.
- Continue to cook the fondue over low heat, stirring frequently, until it is heated through and has reached a creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the fondue is cooking, prepare the French bread. Slice it into bite-sized pieces or cubes, making it easy for dipping.
- Once the fondue is ready, transfer it to a fondue pot or a serving bowl. If using a fondue pot, keep it warm over a low flame to maintain the fondue's temperature.
- Serve the Chicken Cordon Bleu Fondue with the prepared French bread pieces for dipping. Enjoy this delightful combination of flavors and textures with your family or friends!
Tips
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time and ensure even heating
- Shred your Swiss cheese fresh for the smoothest, most luxurious melting
- Keep the heat low and slow to prevent cheese from burning or separating
- Cut bread into uniform, bite-sized pieces for easy dipping
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain optimal temperature and texture
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the cream mixture
- If fondue becomes too thick, thin it with a little warm cream
- Use a proper fondue pot or a heavy-bottomed saucepan to distribute heat evenly
