Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until bubbly. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour, cooking for about 1 minute until slightly golden. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk and add a chicken bouillon cube, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, a dash of hot sauce if desired, and a generous ½ cup of Parmesan cheese until melted into a creamy sauce.
- In a large skillet, melt enough butter to coat the bottom over medium heat. Lay one flour tortilla in the skillet, then top with a handful of shredded Swiss cheese for a melty base. Layer on slices of grilled chicken and deli ham, followed by a sprinkle of toasted breadcrumbs, and drizzle with the creamy Parmesan Dijon sauce. Finish by adding another layer of cheese and placing a second tortilla on top.
- Increase the heat to medium and cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip it using a spatula to avoid spilling the insides. Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly and the tortilla becomes a delightful, golden brown color.
- Once both sides of the Chicken Cordon Bleu Quesadilla are perfectly crispy and the cheese is gooey, transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve the quesadilla hot alongside the remaining creamy Parmesan Dijon sauce for dipping.

Notes
For best results, use medium heat to cook the quesadillas and consider making homemade breadcrumbs for added texture.
