CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BLUE-CHEESE SAUCE



Chicken Breasts With Blue-Cheese Sauce image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 1 pound total weight
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 pound blue cheese
4 rectangles thinly sliced cooked ham, about 1/4 pound
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the breast halves on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on one side and partly cooked. Turn and continue cooking about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the pieces and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. Add the broth and milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add the cream and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
  • Add the ham slices to the skillet in which the chicken pieces cooked, and cook briefly on both sides just to heat through. Transfer the slices to a heated serving dish, and cover each slice with a piece of chicken breast.
  • Add the onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the wine, and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Stir in the cheese sauce.
  • Place a sieve over a small saucepan, and strain the sauce, stirring and pushing down with a plastic spatula to press through as much of it as possible. There should be about 11/3 cups of sauce.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve hot.

BACON AND BLUE CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Bacon and Blue Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

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.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Chicken Breasts With Blue Cheese Sauce image

Chef Pierre Franey: This dish, like so many I have created over the years, came about by accident. One day while cooking with Craig Claiborne, I asked our kitchen assistant to hand me some cheese, thinking we had some Gruyere. Instead, he handed me a quarter pound of blue cheese. My first reaction was negative, but on second thought I said, "Why not?" I was very pleased with the result.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Blue Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

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.
