Steps:
- CHICKEN MARINADE: Lightly pound each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. In a non-reactive dish (glass or porcelain), combine the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for not more than 2 hours.
- FOR THE SAUCE: In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and remaining teaspoon of garlic and cook stirring, over low heat, for 5 minutes or until the onion is tender. Add the cream and bring to a simmer, add the sage and parsley and remove from the heat; set aside.
- THE CHICKEN: Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Dip the chicken lightly in the seasoned flour on both sides. In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5 minutes per side or until completely cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and loosely cover with foil, keep warm. Add the white wine to the skillet and boil, stirring with a wooden spoon until there are only 2 tablespoons of liquid in the pan. Add the reserved cream mixture and bring to a boil, add the Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheeses and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- ASSEMBLY: Add the hot cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until well combined. Divide the pasta between 4 dishes and top each portion with chicken. Garnish the chicken with minced parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
- Pat chicken dry, then cut a deep 3-inch-long pocket horizontally in long curved side of each chicken breast half. Fill each pocket with one quarter of cheese. Season chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Heat oil in an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Place chicken, skin side down, in skillet and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn breasts over, then place skillet in oven and bake until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter.
- Return skillet to burner (handle will be very hot) and add water and vinegar. Boil, stirring and scraping up any brown bits and melted cheese, until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof measuring cup, then skim off excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with sauce.
Tips:
- For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have gorgonzola cheese, you can substitute another blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Stilton.
- To make the sauce ahead of time, simply prepare it up to the point of adding the chicken and pasta. Then, store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the sauce over low heat, then add the chicken and pasta and cook according to the recipe instructions.
- To add a bit of extra flavor to the dish, you can sauté some mushrooms or onions and add them to the sauce.
- If you don't have rigatoni, you can use another type of short pasta, such as penne or shells.
Conclusion:
This chicken breasts over rigatoni with gorgonzola sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The creamy, flavorful sauce is made with gorgonzola cheese, milk, and white wine, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken and pasta. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
