It adds so much more flavor than just plain ham. What kind of wine to serve with this Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta Bake? This dish pairs perfectly with a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Wrap the chicken in the plastic wrap, twist the excess plastic, and roll the chicken while twisting the sides in to tighten and firm up the roll of chicken cordon bleu. And even though Chicken Cordon Bleu is not a difficult recipe to master by any means, I just don't have the want or will to stand stuffing chicken breasts before breading and cooking them.
