Blue Cheese And Lemon Chicken Recipes

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Combine 1 tablespoons butter, thyme, and blue cheese in small bowl until blended. Season with salt & pepper and set aside.
• Cut a horizontal line in the thickest side of each chicken breast to form a pocket, but not cutting all the way through.
• Stuff blue cheese mixture into pocket with small spoon.
• Place chicken in a baking dish. Season with salt & pepper. Bake 15 minutes, uncovered.
• Meanwhile melt remaining 1 tablespoons butter; stir in lemon juice and paprika. Turn chicken, brush with lemon mixture and bake additional 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (use thermometer in unstuffed area).

BLUE CHEESE AND LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F and lightly butter or oil a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
• Stir together sour cream, blue cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley in a bowl and set aside.
• Combine the flour, rosemary, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and stir to mix.
• Coat the chicken in the flour evenly, patting to remove excess.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium high heat just until it is beginning to brown.
• Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side, without crowding the skillet (cook in batches, if need be).
• Transfer the chicken to the baking dish, skin side up if using breasts with skin.
• Spread the blue cheese mixture evenly over the chicken.
• Combine the bread crumbs with the melted butter and parmesan cheese, stirring to mix.
• Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken and bake until the topping is nicely browned and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes (until juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife through the thickest part).

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

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 CHICKEN

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.

BLUE CHEESE AND CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Season the the chicken with the Cajun, salt and pepper. Cook in a non stick frying pan for 5 minutes, then turn and cook for about 4 minutes until cooked through but still moist and juicy. Now squeeze over a little lemon juice.
• While the chicken is cooking, mash together the blue cheese and the mayonnaise.
• Layer the salad ingredients on top of the slices of bread and top with moist chicken, followed by the blue cheese mayo. Sandwich together and eat warm.

BAKED BLUE CHEESE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix together the blue cheese, sour cream and garlic; set aside.
• Lightly salt chicken breasts.
• Dredge each one in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, then roll in the bread crumbs.
• Place the butter& oil in a non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
• Brown chicken breasts on both sides then place in a lightly greased baking dish.
• Pour the blue cheese mixture over the breasts.
• Cover and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-60 mins or until chicken is tender.

CHICKEN BREAST STUFFED WITH SPINACH BLUE CHEESE AND BACON

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp. I prefer to use an indoor grill. Bacon can also be cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat, or the microwave at about 1 minute per slice. Drain on paper towels, and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the spinach and blue cheese. Crumble in the bacon, and stir to distribute.
• Lay the chicken breast halves out on a clean surface, and distribute the spinach mixture evenly onto the centers of them. Fold the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Stir together the flour, salt and pepper on a dinner plate. Roll the chicken in the flour to coat.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown each piece of chicken on top and bottom. Remove to a lightly greased baking dish, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken juices run clear, and filling is hot.
