    I simplified this a bit more by cutting the ham into small pieces and mixing it in with the ground chicken. My husband is a big Cordon Bleu fan and he complimented me on this creation! Thanks for the idea! - 4/27/11

    I love this and it replaces my chicken cordon bleu. I use ground turkey. Works perfectly - 7/26/08
