My husband created this dish on Valentine's day our second year of marriage. We didn't have a lot of money and he wanted to create something special for me. It has been a favorite ever since. Easy to make and delicious!

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.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Chicken Breasts With Blue Cheese Sauce image

Chef Pierre Franey: This dish, like so many I have created over the years, came about by accident. One day while cooking with Craig Claiborne, I asked our kitchen assistant to hand me some cheese, thinking we had some Gruyere. Instead, he handed me a quarter pound of blue cheese. My first reaction was negative, but on second thought I said, "Why not?" I was very pleased with the result.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)
salt, to taste if desired (optional)
fresh ground pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup canned chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 lb blue cheese
4 slices of thinly sliced cooked ham (about 1/4 pound)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the breast halves with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken in one layer over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown lightly on one side. Turn and continue cooking about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the pieces and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. Add the broth and milk, and continue stirring rapidly. Add the cream and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
  • Add the ham slices to the skillet in which the chicken pieces cooked and saute briefly on both sides just enough to heat through. Transfer the slices to a heated serving dish and cover each slice with a piece of chicken breast.
  • Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stiffing until wilted. Add the wine and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Stir in the cheese sauce.
  • Place a sieve over a small saucepan and strain the sauce, stirring and pushing down with a plastic spatula to press through as much of it as possible. There should be about 1 1/3 cups of sauce.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve hot.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Blue Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

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.

EASY BLEU CHEESE CHICKEN



Easy Bleu Cheese Chicken image

I made this up to get rid of some aging bleu cheese dressing, but it turned out absolutely delicious and it was so easy to make! You can use more or less bleu cheese dressing depending on how oily a dish you want this to be; I made it the first time with an entire bottle but that was a bit excessive.
