Chicken Cordon Bleu

What is it?

Breaded chicken breast sits on a brioche bun with smoked ham, melted Swiss cheese, and mayo in Arby's fast-food take on cordon bleu. You get the basic shape of the classic dish in sandwich form rather than as a cutlet on a plate. Compared with a plain chicken sandwich, the extra ham adds a second meat layer and changes the salt profile. Swiss brings the usual nutty melt, while the brioche bun leans soft and slightly sweet. Within Arby's lineup, it fits with the chain's deli-style, meat-on-meat approach.
