Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a slit into the thick side of each chicken breast about 2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches deep.
- Mash together the Gorgonzola cheese, parsley, shallot, and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Divide the filling in half, and stuff each chicken breast with cheese filling. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each breast, and secure with wooden toothpicks. Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is browned and the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read about 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Mix flour, poultry seasoning and garlic powder in a dish. Beat egg whites in a shallow plate or bowl. Place hazelnuts on a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap on a cutting board or work surface.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet with oven safe handle over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Turn in flour to dust the breasts, then turn in egg whites, then press breasts into nuts on both sides. Wash hands. Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add chicken. Brown the nuts and chicken 2 minutes on each side then transfer to the oven and finish cooking the chicken through, about 8 minutes.
- In a small pot, warm milk over medium heat. Add cheese and melt it into the milk. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped sage and simmer 5 minutes.
- To serve, place chicken on plates and pour a couple of spoons of the Gorgonzola sauce over the center of each piece. Garnish with chopped sage.
GORGONZOLA SAUCE
Steps:
- Bring the heavy cream to a full boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then continue to boil rapidly for 45 to 50 minutes, until thickened like a white sauce, stirring occasionally.
- Off the heat, add the Gorgonzola, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk rapidly until the cheeses melt and serve warm. If you must reheat, warm the sauce over low heat until melted, then whisk vigorously until the sauce comes together.
Tips:
- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The bones and skin add flavor to the dish, and the thighs are more forgiving to cook than breasts.
- Sear the chicken thighs in a hot skillet before baking them. This will help to brown the chicken and give it a crispy skin.
- Use a good quality Gorgonzola cheese. The cheese is the star of the dish, so it's important to use a cheese that has a strong flavor.
- Serve the chicken with a simple side dish, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. This will allow the flavors of the chicken and cheese to shine through.
Conclusion:
Chicken with Gorgonzola is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of the crispy chicken, creamy cheese, and tangy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
