Key Lime Blue Cheese Chicken Recipes

KEY LIME-BLUE CHEESE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate the raw chicken breasts in the lime juice for at least 1 hour. Save the marinade.
• Using a large skillet, sauté the onions in the margarine/butter until caramelized. Then remove the onions, leaving the oils in the pan.
• Use a grill (or the skillet) to cook the chicken breasts until they are halfway done (still pink in the center). Remove the chicken from heat and let them cool enough to handle.
• Cut a horizontal slit in each breast to make a pocket. Fill the pocket tightly with the blue cheese crumbles, and secure the chicken with a toothpick.
• Put the stuffed chicken breasts back in the skillet, and add the leftover lime juice marinade to the pan. Cook on medium-low heat until the chicken is done and the cheese is melted (about 10 min.) When it's time to flip the chicken breasts, remove the toothpicks.
• Right before serving, put the sautéed onions back in the pan, and add the mushrooms, capers, yoghurt, and parsley. Stir them into the sauce, and then taste the sauce: Add salt or pepper if desired.
• When serving, top each serving of chicken with the mushroom/onion sauce.

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.
