Bachelor on the Cheap

By Mike Thayer

There are going to be those times when you don't feel like cooking, but you don't feel like going out to eat either.  Sometimes when you get home from work, all you want to do is conveniently heat something up for dinner and just chill out.....

That's exactly what I did on a Saturday night after work and rather than pull out a bunch of ingredients, the pots, the pans and make something from scratch, I went with something easy and convenient. 

Enter, Pierre brand Raw Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Cordon Bleu.  All I had to do was turn on the oven, plop a couple chicken breasts on a cookie sheet, set the timer and wait.  With college football and basketball on TV and an adult beverage in hand, waiting wasn't a problem.

Packaged well, no freezer burn worries

"So how did they taste?"  You ask....

Sometimes when it comes to prepared foods, you get something convenient, but it lacks flavor.  Stouffer's Lasagna comes to mind.

Not so with Pierre's Cordon Bleu.

Here's the description from the box:  We start with a creamy delicious combination of cheeses and ham, then delicately wrap it in chicken breast meat and bread it for an exquisite flavor experience.

It was indeed an exquisite flavor experience!  I prepared two of the breasts in the oven per the box instructions, this is a raw chicken product after all, and they came out beautifully.  The breading provided a very nice, perfectly seasoned crunch, the chicken was tender and juicy, the cheese was nicely portioned and paired with that ham delivered on the Cordon Bleu flavor profile with every bite.

Sprinkled with a bit of Parmesan Cheese

I picked up a box of six of the Cordon Bleu delights at Costco for $12.49, that's just $2.08 a serving - a VERY reasonable price for all that flavor!  Pierre Raw Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Cordon Bleu gets 5 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars!  Pierre makes a great product, these things rock and are most definitely worthy of a repeat buy!
