This comes from [Planet Green](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination_America#Planet_Green)’s “Emeril Green” program starring of course Emeril Legasse. The point of the show was to create a fantasy supermarket and give regular people a series of challenging dishes to work through and overcome. I recommend watching the whole segment because this is not [Emeril’s recipe](https://www.emerils.com/print/127353) for Chicken Cordon Bleu. It’s a recipe by a chef named Jerry. If you need a gif of Emeril’s recipe, u/darionlar posted a somewhat [similar dish](https://redd.it/4k2mce) on r/gifrecipes already.
Emeril in the segment following this takes Jerry’s recipe which is oven based and changes it to a stove top recipe likely because it makes for better TV and it gives the chicken some personality with the char. More importantly it allows him to create a roux and make a side of rice to go with it. If you want to make a roux with the oven method, just use the drippings gathered at the bottom of the pan.
Watch the show to pick out whichever style you’d prefer to cook with and then gather some courage and make yourself a “blue ribbon” chicken.

Posting this recipe after u/Doc-in-a-box affectionately called me [Mr. Cordon Blew](https://old.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/1i233fq/5ingredient_british_breakfaststyle_mashed_potato/m7b6ge1/)[sic] and I realized that I haven’t seen anyone post a recipe like this in half a decade around here. We were over due for more cordon bleu.

Interesting choices made on this one. I prefer breading mine with panko and making a Dijon mushroom sauce to go over top.
Also, important to really let it rest to allow the cheese to harden up a bit so it doesn’t run all out like soup.
That’s unfortunate thumbnail 😉
CCB is underrated, so good!
