GORGONZOLA CHICKEN

Good morning.  Well as they used to say on KMET today is hump day.  The middle of the week and two days to the weekend.  Even if you work at home, the weekend is just a special time that everyone looks forward to.  Here in California with the temperatures hovering around one hundred, it is going to be a mad dash to the beaches.  Or maybe to the cool of an air conditioned movie.  Or just sitting in the house with the air on just to get some blessed relief from the heat.

Today I have a very decadent chicken recipe for you.  It is so good you really will want to lick your plate.  Not to mention that it is just as good or better the next day if you happen to have any left over. I got this recipe from my sister, who got it from a friend, who got it from a friend etc.  All I know is that it is well worth posting.

CHICKEN BREAST WITH GORGONZOLA
Lightly brown chicken (3 or 4 chicken breasts) in butter and season with salt and pepper.  Remove to a baking dish and add drippings from pan and a little water.  Cover and place in oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.

Sauce: (this is the decadent part)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 pound Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Melt butter in a large skillet.  When butter foams (don't burn or let it get brown), add cream and bring to a boil.  Add the Gorgonzola.  Stir and cook 3 to 4 minutes over low heat, until cheese is melted and cream begins to thicken.  Season with salt and pepper.  Remove from heat and add the Parmesan cheese.

Take chicken from the oven and pour most of the liquid off.  Pour sauce over the chicken and place back in the oven for about 10 minutes.  Serve over rice.

This is so good you won't care how many calories it has, so don't even think about it :)

Try it soon.  thanks for stopping in today.
Ciao for now.
