Provided by Claire Robinson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (recommended: Maytag or Point Reyes)
4 slices smoked bacon, cooked until crisp and finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
4 skin-on, bone-in organic chicken breasts
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, using a rubber spatula, mix the butter, blue cheese, bacon, and chives together until combined. Dollop half of the compound butter along the long edge of a 12-inch piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll into a log, twisting opposite ways on both ends of the paper to create a tightly wrapped log of butter. Refrigerate or freeze for another use.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Using your fingers, carefully loosen the skin from chicken breasts. Stuff about 1/4 of the remaining blue cheese butter under the skin of each breast; smoothing the skin to evenly distribute the butter over the surface of the breast meat.
  • Put the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and rub any remaining butter over the skin. Season each breast with just a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
  • Roast the chicken breasts, skin sides up, in the center of the oven until skin is crisped and chicken is cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should register 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the meat. Remove from the oven to a serving platter. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
  • Cook's Note: This recipe makes 2 logs of compound butter; unused butter can be used to top grilled meats, burgers, or baked or mashed potatoes.

EASY BLEU CHEESE CHICKEN



Easy Bleu Cheese Chicken image

I made this up to get rid of some aging bleu cheese dressing, but it turned out absolutely delicious and it was so easy to make! You can use more or less bleu cheese dressing depending on how oily a dish you want this to be; I made it the first time with an entire bottle but that was a bit excessive.

Yield 4

¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 slices Swiss cheese

  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from oven, and place 1/2 cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality blue cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful, with a strong but not overpowering aroma.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Baked blue cheese chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy blue cheese, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new chicken recipe, give this one a try.
