This smooth and velvety Dijon sauce is the perfect finishing touch for Chicken Cordon Bleu. With a buttery base and a sharp mustard bite, it adds just the right amount of richness to elevate your meal from great to gourmet.
🧂 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan or 1 tablespoon white wine
🔥 Instructions
Make a Roux: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden and bubbly.
Add the Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3–5 minutes.
Flavor It Up: Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and optional Parmesan or white wine if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer: Let it simmer on low for another 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until smooth and creamy.
Serve: Spoon over your Chicken Cordon Bleu just before serving—or serve on the side for dipping.
