TUSCAN GRILLED CHICKEN WITH WARM GORGONZOLA SAUCE
This was a winner in the Paula Deen recipe round up in the Nov/Dec.2009 Cooking with Paula Deen contest. It was submitted by Radelle Knappenberger and cooked and judged by Paula Deen. This recipe features a creamy sauce over chicken and we used the extra sauce on a side of pasta as well. Warning capers are not for everyone. This sauce needs to really thicken and takes time so don't make it when you are in a rush. Weekend recipe for sure. Make the sauce first and when it is almost ready do the grilling. I know it is written the opposite here but it works better that way. If after these caveats you want to make it, do so. It is yummy. It is served over whole breasts but slicing the breasts and drizzling sauce disperses the sauce even more. It is up to you. Enjoy! ChefDLH

- 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.

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.
TUSCAN LEMON CHICKEN
Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt on each side. Combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a small measuring cup. Place the chicken in a ceramic or glass dish just large enough to hold it flat. Pour the lemon marinade over the chicken, turning it in the dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Turn the chicken 2 or 3 times while marinating.
- When ready to grill, prepare a hot charcoal fire on 1 side of a grill (or turn a gas grill on low heat). Spread 1/4 of the coals across the other side of the grill. Place the chicken on the cooler side, skin side up, and weigh it down with the dish you used for marinating. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the underside is golden brown. Turn the chicken skin side down, weight again with the dish, and cook for another 12 to 15 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Place the lemon halves on the cool side of the grill, cut side down for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Cut in quarters, sprinkle with salt, and serve with the grilled lemon halves.

- Serve the chicken on a bed of arugula with lemon slices.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked by making a small cut into the thickest part of the chicken. The juices should run clear, not pink.
- To make sure the sauce is smooth and creamy, whisk it constantly over low heat until it has thickened.
- If you want a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream or crème fraîche.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
