BLUE CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Yet another recipe from the local paper that I want to try ... some day. I did try this recently and we all really liked it. Next time I think I'll place a small amount of blue cheese on top of the chicken when it comes out of the oven and is served. The cheese/butter mixture melts during cooking and even though the flavor is wonderful, everyone said more cheese on top would be nice. Also, I think the little bit of sauce that there is, would be nice thickened and spooned over the chicken too. Let me know what you think.

BLUE CHEESE, PECAN AND CRANBERRY-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded 1/4-inch thick
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 ounces blue cheese
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced
½ cup white wine
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces
¼ chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper to taste. 2. Mix the blue cheese in a bowl with the cranberries and pecans. Lay a chicken breast on a cutting board with the top side (where the skin was) down. Place one fourth of the blue cheese mixture in the center of the chicken breast. Wrap the chicken breast tightly around the cheese with kitchen string. Repeat with remaining chicken. 3. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat; add the chicken. Brown on both sides. Transfer chicken to a baking pan; place in the oven. Bake until cooked through, about 12 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, make a pan sauce. Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and more olive oil, if needed. Cook over medium-high heat until soft. Add wine; reduce to a syrup. Add chicken broth and mustard. Whisk in the butter, a piece at a time, to thicken sauce. Remove from heat; add parsley. 5. Cut and remove the string from the chicken; serve the chicken, sliced crosswise, if you like, with the sauce.

BLUE CHEESE CHICKEN BREASTS

A simple, tasty solution I created accidentally one day, when I didn't have a clue what to do with some chicken. You may substitute the blue cheese dressing with many other favourite creamy dressings. Renee's Cucumber Dill dressing also works well.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
  • For a crispier coating, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • If you don't have blue cheese dressing, you can make your own by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, and a dash of garlic powder.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the blue cheese sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
