Barber Stuffed Chicken Breasts have been a long time friend of mine. When I was a young mom first starting out with a family on my own to feed, Barber Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts were one of our favorite meals. We also enjoyed the Chicken Kiev and Cordon Bleu Stuffed Chicken Breasts.
I was excited to try the new Cordon Bleu version from Barber. Cordon Bleu, French for Blue Ribbon fit the bill. I love the new improved coating. The new version offers a home-style breading similar to my own. It keeps the chicken so much more moist and juicy than I remembered. Barber mixes it up with Swiss and American cheeses. These stuffed chicken breasts are tender and flavorful.

You can find Barber Stuffed Chicken Breasts in the frozen food aisle. I found these Barber Cordon Bleu Stuffed Chicken Breasts at several retailers in my area. Here at Wegman’s they are located with the ready to cook chicken entrees.

I couldn’t decide which vegetable to make with these Barber Cordon Bleu Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Lemon Pepper Roasted Vegetables turned out to be a great idea! Slightly spicy and a bit tangy plus roasting brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables.

Lemon Pepper Roasted Vegetables

I used red potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, red onion, baby carrots and red beets. Place the veggies in a plastic zipper bag with the olive oil and seasoning.
Just close the bag and squeeze the vegetables around in the bag to coat.

You might want to keep red beets separate to stop the color bleeding onto your other veggies.

Ace of Clubs #SundaySupper

Posted on September 6, 2015 by Cindy Kerschner

Ace of Clubs
Labor Day celebrates the hard-working men and women who make up the workforce that drives the country. Many businesses honor workers by giving them the day off. We shouldn’t forget the brave men and women that fought to make workplaces safer and establish fair wages and decent hourly work weeks.
We are halfway through this 3 day weekend. There is still time to relax and send summer off with a bang!
This week Sunday Supper wants you to think that less is more. Less work and more fun!
I have a perfect less is more, fast sandwich to enjoy this weekend. An Ace of Clubs. This isn’t actually a recipe, its more like a suggestion for a terrific sandwich.
The Ace of Clubs is a king of the sandwich world to me. A triple-decker with layers of ham, turkey and Swiss stacked with bacon, lettuce and tomato. This beauty is on toasted honey wheat bread. I like horseradish mayo on mine. What will you put on yours?
