A bistro classic you can absolutely master at home, this cordon bleu wraps tender chicken around ham and melting Swiss, then coats it in a crisp golden crust. A quick sear followed by a spell in the oven keeps the meat juicy while the cheese goes gloriously gooey inside. Finished with a spoonful of butter and a squeeze of lemon, it is comfort food dressed for a nice occasion.
