Quick & Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu + How to Get Dinner on The Table with Minimal Prep

I’m a work-from-home mom of two toddlers who’s expecting a third baby in only a few months. As much as I love to cook, there’s just no way I can find an hour or two to spare to cook homemade meals every evening. Over the past few years, I’ve learned a few tricks that have made a huge difference in getting a delicious and impressive meal on the table for the entire family with minimal prep time. Today I’m talking about three of my favorite quick and easy tips for getting dinner on the table with minimal prep – even on the busiest days – and sharing how I make a quick and easy chicken cordon bleu, one of our favorite quick and easy meals, with only a few minutes of prep time!

Quick And Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu

While I’m a fan of all of the Barber Foods Stuffed Chicken Breasts, our favorite has to be the Barber Foods Raw Stuffed Chicken Breast in the Cordon Bleu variety! It’s a chicken breast stuffed with ham, cheese, and coated in bread crumbs, and it’s the perfect everyday meal. They’re such a great staple to keep in your pantry because the entree is always the hardest part of dinner, and it’s absolutely amazing to have such a simple main course to prepare when you’re in a rush. In addition to being extremely simple to make, they always turn out absolutely delicious and are easy to pair with a variety of sides to make an amazing and complete meal in minutes.

Barber Foods Stuffed Chicken Breasts are made with high-quality chicken and hand-stuffed with the best cheeses, meats, and vegetables. They’re the original stuffed chicken breasts, and it makes a meal that absolutely tastes like it was made from scratch – but you don’t have to do any of the hard work! Anything that gives me extra time to spend with my family instead of spending hours cooking is a winner in my book – especially when it tastes this good. Plus, I love that it’s always available at my local Publix. They have so many convenient locations near my home, and I love shopping at Publix because of the awesome customer service and unique selection of products. 

Lately I’ve been trading up from the 2-count package to the 6-count package. It’s the perfect amount to feed our entire family and have leftovers for the next day’s lunch. From 8/14 through 8/27, you can take advantage of Publix’s Grocery Co-Op Extra Savings Price Point offer and get a 6-count package of your favorite flavor of Barber Foods Stuffed Chicken Breasts for only $9.99! Try out the Chicken Cordon Bleu flavor on your next trip to Publix. You won’t be disappointed!

This tip is one of my favorites! Each weekend, I put together a veggie tray, fruit tray, and a meat and cheese tray. I wash, cut, and separate all of the ingredients, so that they can be easily added to snack plates, lunches, and dinners throughout the week with zero effort. In addition to being a quick snack or side dish on their own, these ingredients are perfect for adding to quick dinners!

 

For example, I often make a quick salad by throwing some lettuce in a bowl and adding a mixture of the pre-cut vegetables, fruit, meats, and cheeses from the snack trays and adding a store-bought vinaigrette. It’s so delicious and literally only takes a few minutes to prepare. I can also throw extra vegetables into a pan for a quick stir fry, soup, or addition to pasta or rice. Put on your favorite TV show or podcast and take 30 minutes to make these prepped trays for the week, and I promise your meals for the next few days will be SO much easier!
