Chicken Cordon Bleu Sliders

I love Chicken Cordon Bleu and this copycat slider has all the big taste with simple ingredients and all done in less than 30 minutes.

These sandwiches are just so easy to make with deli ham, swiss cheese, and chicken fingers precooked, and then with a little Alfredo Sauce, you're in for that big taste of this gourmet simple sandwich.

These are always a big hit when we have a family get-together to watch a sporting event and now these are the first sandwich everyone asks me to bring to an outdoor picnic.

Seriously don't take my word for it, make them and see for yourself you will get a ton of compliments.

Perfect all-in-one delicious bite and also a great appetizer besides the best copycat recipe you'll ever make in such a short amount of time!

We also make an Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu rollup for all you lovers of this dish out there.

I love all kinds of appetizer fun foods like this, especially when they are easy to make sandwiches.


These are perfect for entertaining a small brunch get-together, game day, and especially for bringing to that last-minute invite, they're just the right bite for any party.


The ham, cheese, and chicken are a perfect little starter since they are really small sandwiches and so quick and easy with our suggestions below.


The best part about this easy cordon bleu sandwich is it takes half the time to make and has the same big taste as that gourmet meal in just 25 minutes using all store-bought ingredients.
