Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Stir cream cheese and blue cheese together in a bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third shallow bowl.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cheese mixture will start to run out when done. Serve chicken over cooked rice.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups sour cream
6 ounces mild blue cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon grated lemon, zest of
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350*F and lightly butter or oil a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
Stir together sour cream, blue cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley in a bowl and set aside.
Combine the flour, rosemary, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and stir to mix.
Coat the chicken in the flour evenly, patting to remove excess.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium high heat just until it is beginning to brown.
Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side, without crowding the skillet (cook in batches, if need be).
Transfer the chicken to the baking dish, skin side up if using breasts with skin.
Spread the blue cheese mixture evenly over the chicken.
Combine the bread crumbs with the melted butter and parmesan cheese, stirring to mix.
Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken and bake until the topping is nicely browned and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes (until juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife through the thickest part).

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 lb blue cheese, crumbled
1 pint sour cream
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
4 -6 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fine breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt

Steps:

Mix together the blue cheese, sour cream and garlic; set aside.
Lightly salt chicken breasts.
Dredge each one in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, then roll in the bread crumbs.
Place the butter& oil in a non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
Brown chicken breasts on both sides then place in a lightly greased baking dish.
Pour the blue cheese mixture over the breasts.
Cover and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-60 mins or until chicken is tender.

Tips:

To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the thigh. The juices should run clear, and there should be no pink meat in the center.
For a crispier skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before cooking.
To make sure the lemon-blue cheese sauce is smooth, blend it in a blender or food processor until it is completely smooth.
If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can also whisk the sauce by hand. Just make sure to whisk it vigorously so that it is smooth.
Serve the chicken immediately with the lemon-blue cheese sauce.

Conclusion:

This Blue Cheese and Lemon Chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the lemon-blue cheese sauce is creamy and tangy. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad.
