    July 27, 2018 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 2 Comments

    Holy-delicious. This Instant Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu is fabulous! At least compared to the frozen chicken cordon bleu's that my mom used to heat up for our dinners when we were kids.

And of course, if you wanted to crisp it up even more, you could run it under a hi or lo broil for just a minute … [Read more...]
