Chicken Cordon Bleu is my husband’s favorite thing, but with the weather so hot I can’t bring myself to turn on the oven. So we did some experimenting with grilling. Turns out, you can successfully grill the delicious little bundles! It’s all the great taste of traditional chicken cordon bleu without the 350 degree house. Continue reading
