I have something super yummy for you today! It’s Chicken Cordon Bleu Baked Potato, a baked potato topped with herb butter and stuffed with chicken, ham, cheese and fresh chives. It’s so easy and so delicious!
Baked potatoes are one of favorites around here. I realized this week that I haven’t made any baked potatoes all summer. Of course, I couldn’t stop thinking about it after that.
Trish got me in a mood for something Cordon Bleu with her Chicken Cordon Bleu Crescent Rolls, so I wanted to see how the baked potato would taste with those flavors. It…was…Awesome (yes, with the capital “A”)!!
There is something that makes my baked potatoes very special, according to my boys, and that’s fresh herb butter. To be exact, it’s the fresh dill weed butter. Dill weed is just a perfect flavor on a baked potato and worked perfectly here with some fresh chives, chicken, ham and ages Swiss cheese. Butter also created the perfect amount of moisture inside the potato.
Another great thing about this dish is that the potatoes and the chicken can be made ahead of time. If you pre-bake the potato and grill the chicken ahead of time, this dish only takes about 20 minutes.
