BAKED BLUE CHEESE CHICKEN
Excellent! If you like blue cheese you will love this dish. I make it often for just the family or dinner parties and everyone always comments on how good it is. I like to serve this chicken with baked potatoes or a rice dish and a green salad. Enjoy!

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
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.
