I have no idea of this pre-dates the cordon bleu culinary school, but I seem to remember that paintings could be awarded "cordon bleu", etc - which indicates to me that it might be a more general "award-winning" title.

My nan did a Cordon Bleu cooking course in london after WWII and it was basic French style cooking. Somewhere along the line I suspect that dishes taught in this method got given the name "Cordon Blue"...like the chicken dish you had.
