Arby's Chicken Cordon Bleu

About the Chicken Cordon Bleu

Arby's Chicken Cordon Bleu runs $7.29 and lists 650 cal, turning a dish that usually means rolled chicken and a dinner party into a handheld sandwich. Arby's keeps the classic trio intact: a breaded chicken breast, thinly smoked ham sliced thin and natural Swiss cheese, with mayonnaise on a brioche bun.

The French original stuffs ham and cheese inside a pounded cutlet. Here the layers sit on top instead, which makes every component easy to taste. Smoked ham lands first with a salty, slightly sweet cure. Swiss follows with its mild, nutty character and a gentle softness from the heat of the chicken underneath. The breaded breast anchors everything with a crunchy shell and a juicy middle, and mayonnaise ties the stack together with a creamy, tangy layer.

Visually it reads as a tall sandwich with a golden crust peeking out from under folds of pink ham and pale Swiss. The brioche bun has a shiny, deep tan top and a soft, buttery crumb that compresses nicely around the filling. Two meats make it feel heavier in the hand than a standard chicken sandwich, and the numbers confirm it: each one brings 35 grams of protein.

People checking the Chicken Cordon Bleu price will find it at the top end of the Arby's chicken sandwiches, sharing its price tag with the Chicken Bacon Swiss Sandwich. That pairing makes sense, since both add a cured pork topping and Swiss to fried chicken. The cordon bleu skips the vegetables and honey mustard, so it tastes richer and more savory, while the bacon version leans fresher and sweeter. The listed price reflects an Austin, Texas store, and the cost at your store can shift a little by region.

This sandwich suits the diner who usually orders a ham and cheese but wants something more filling, or anyone who likes a chicken sandwich with more on it than plain lettuce and tomato. It works for a sit down lunch, a late dinner, or a road trip stop when you want one item that covers both meat cravings at once.

The Chicken Cordon Bleu calories put it in the bigger half of the menu, so a lighter side keeps the tray balanced. Try it next to a small Crinkle Fries, whose kosher salt seasoning plays well against smoked ham, or finish with an Apple Turnover for something warm and sweet after the savory layers.
