<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Burger King\u2019s Chicken Cordon Bleu is like me realizing I\u2019ve run out of soap while in the shower. I\u2019ll use whatever else is available, which is shampoo. <\/p>\n
With the sandwich, Burger King forgoes chicken cordon bleu\u2019s traditional Swiss cheese and uses the mozzarella it has lying around because of its Chicken Parmesan and Crispy Chicken Buffalo Melt sandwiches.<\/p>\n
The BK Chicken Cordon Bleu features a 100 percent white meat seasoned crispy chicken filet that\u2019s topped with black forest ham, two mozzarella slices, and a tomato pepper signature sauce on a golden brown potato bun.<\/p>\n
I picked one up at my local airport\u2019s Burger King, so excuse the almost $14 meal price below. But, at first, I thought it was a good thing because the last time I ate at this airport Burger King, I had the best chicken sandwich I\u2019ve ever had in my life from a BK. It was the Crispy Chicken Sandwich that came out earlier this year and it was delightful. It was crispy, juicy, and at a temperature I\u2019ve never experienced at a Burger King in decades. So I expected my taste buds to be pleased again.<\/p>\n
But when I bit into it, I noticed the temperature contrast between the hot chicken filet and cool-to-warm ham and cheese. I was surprising because I watched the BK employee make my sandwich and after layering on the cheese and ham and wrapping it up, I thought I saw her lift into a microwave, stand there for several seconds, and then pull it out of the microwave. But it tastes like I imagined that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The lukewarm ham and cheese is an issue because they take away from the chicken\u2019s crispy breading and slight juiciness. They also take away from the flavor of the new sauce, which is tasty. It\u2019s like sweet and peppery Thousand Island dressing, but without the relish. <\/p>\n
Eventually, the chicken causes the cheese to melt a little, but that happens halfway through eating the sandwich. The ham uses the mozzarella as a cheese shield, preventing any heat from affecting it. The worst part is that the ham and cheese don\u2019t add to the flavor of the sandwich, they just subtract from the heat of the sandwich.<\/p>\n
Overall, Burger King\u2019s Chicken Cordon Bleu isn\u2019t a horrible sandwich. There\u2019s a lot of good \u2014 the sauce and crispy chicken filet. But, the lukewarm ham and cheese bring down the whole experience.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Crispy chicken filet. Tomato pepper signature sauce has a nice flavor.
\nCons:<\/b> Warm-to-cool mozzarella and ham brings the sandwich’s temperature down. Ham doesn’t add to the sandwich’s flavor. Uses mozzarella instead of Swiss.<\/p>\n
