Chicken Cordon Bleu PocketsBy Kelly Miller • September17,2015 • Updated August 2, 2018 • Leave a Comment2506178 Jump to RecipeThis is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Smithfield Anytime Favorites. The classic chicken & ham dish gets a family friendly twist tucked inside biscuits with swiss cheese and dijon mustard, and baked until hot – these are great for quick dinners, lunchboxes, and the freezer too! Silas informed me the SECOND day of school that he’d like it if I sent him something other than a regular sandwich in his lunchbox. We’re into the fourth week of school and besides an occasional slice of leftover pizza and a ham & cheese roll up (we were out of bread), he has had a regular sandwich in his lunchbox – which is one of his favorite things to eat, anyway! I personally ate countless PB&J, ham & cheese, and bologna sandwiches throughout my school career and he will be no different. Sorry bud. In his defense, I do understand looking at the other kids’ lunches, and the hot school lunches, and wishing I had something a little bit different. I figure I might as well make a little bit more of an effort and find a few meals during the week that I can make for dinner, that would also work as leftovers in his lunch box. After all, when I was teaching, leftovers were my favorite thing to bring for my own lunch! These Chicken Cordon Bleu Pockets fit the bill – easy to make for dinner, and perfect lunch the next day for something a little “different” than the usual sandwich. Me and Paul really enjoyed the swiss in our, but I gave the kids cheddar in theirs instead. Feel free to do the same with your littles! These pockets were SO much fun to serve for dinner – I actually dipped mine in some extra Dijon – yum! I’m really loving Smithfield Anytime Favorites line of ham. It makes dinner time REALLY easy for me! They’re inspired by the classic artisan flavor of Smithfield ham, but gives both quality and convenience at the same time. There are 20 different cuts to choose from – sliced, diced, cubed, chops, and steaks – with a variety a flavors, I can’t wait to try more with my family on busy weeknights!Chicken Cordon Blue PocketsThe classic chicken & ham dish gets a family friendly twist tucked inside biscuits with swiss cheese and dijon mustard, and baked until hot – these are great for quick dinners, lunchboxes, and the freezer too!0 from 0 votes Print Pin RateCourse: DinnerCuisine: AmericanKeyword: chicken cordon bleuPrep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 15 minutesTotal Time: 30 minutesServings: 8 pocketsCalories: 328kcalAuthor: Kelly MillerIngredients1 cup cooked chicken diced8 oz cooked ham diced4 slices Swiss cheese sliced in halfDijon mustard16 oz refrigerated jumbo biscuitsInstructionsIn a bowl, combine cooked chicken and diced ham.
