Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup whole milk (or half-and-half)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. In a food processor, blend blue cheese, cream cheese, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and season with salt, if necessary.
  • Place chicken breasts in an 8-inch square (or slightly smaller) baking dish. Pour blue cheese sauce on top, smoothing it out evenly in the pan over and around the chicken.
  • Bake 35 minutes uncovered, then turn oven temperature down to 325 F and cook 10 minutes more. The sauce should be bubbling and browned around the edges.
  • Remove from oven. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
  • For the prettiest presentation, slice chicken breasts and spoon sauce on top and around chicken on a plate. Garnish with chives or green onions. If you have more blue cheese, crumble on top.

3 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin cutlets)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup chicken stock (or chicken broth)
1 cup heavy cream
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
½ cup parmesan cheese (grated)
cooked pasta
parsley (chopped)
fresh lemon slices

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour and shake off any excess.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and melt 1 tablespoon of butter on medium heat. Swirl pan to coat with oil and butter evenly. Add the chicken cutlets to the pan.
  • Brown the chicken (do not overcrowd and work in batches if needed) for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer onto a plate, cover, and set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter, and saute the garlic for a minute or until it's fragrant. Add the chicken stock, and deglaze the pan scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Adjust the heat to medium-low, and add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and the parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the sauce to gently simmer for a couple of minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to your taste, then put the chicken back in the sauce and the sauce simmer and thicken for a few more minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley leaves and serve warm over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 egg
2 cups bread crumbs
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved and pounded into 1/2-inch thickness
3 cups cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir cream cheese and blue cheese together in a bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third shallow bowl.
  • Spread cheese mixture over each chicken piece. Roll each piece of chicken around filling; dip into egg and press into bread crumbs until coated. Arrange chicken rolls on a baking sheet or baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cheese mixture will start to run out when done. Serve chicken over cooked rice.
