Chicken & Blue Cheese Pizza image

The blue cheese in place of the expected mozzarella gives this pizza a surprising and sophisticated taste. It's excellent as an entree or appetizer-it can be prepared in a round pizza pan as well. -Beverly Lynch, Sugar Grove, Illinois

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

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.
