Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)
The biggest difference between chicken Kiev and Cordon Bleu is that chicken bleu includes ham and chicken kiev typically does not.
Yes, fresh or frozen broccoli, mushrooms and onion are great additions to this easy casserole recipe. Use about two cups of vegetables. If you're using frozen broccoli, thaw it first.
