Chicken fillet cordon bleu is an exquisite and aromatic masterpiece of Estonian cuisine. The combination of tender chicken fillet, piquant blue cheese, and smoked bacon creates a rich flavor with subtle notes of salt and spices. Inspired by French classics, this dish gains a unique character through unexpected accents: jalapeño adds a slight spiciness, while pineapple and celery finish it off with sweet freshness and delicate spice. The fillet is first breaded and deep-fried to achieve an appetizing crispy crust before being served with warm pineapple and vegetables. Chicken cordon bleu is perfect for festive tables or special occasions, delighting with a harmony of textures and a variety of flavors.
