Roquefort Chicken Breast Recipes

BOBBY FLAY'S CHICKEN WITH ROQUEFORT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put honey in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar and cook until reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. This sweet deglazed sauce is called a gastrique. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Mix together the butter and blue cheese in a small bowl until well blended, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the chicken breasts and stuff about 1 heaping tablespoon of the blue cheese butter under the skin of each breast, smoothing the skin to evenly distribute the butter over the surface of the breast meat. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in large ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Put chicken in the pan, skin-side down, and cook until fat renders and skin is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken and add four rosemary sprigs to pan. Place in oven and roast until breasts are just cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Remove pan from oven and heat broiler. Spread the remaining butter over the tops of each breast and place under the broiler until golden brown and blistered.
• Remove each breast to a plate, spoon some of the pan drippings over each breast and immediately drizzle with some of the gastrique. Garnish with rosemary.

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.

• Stir together the dressing, lemon juice, garlic, basil and pepper; set aside about 2 T.
• Put the chicken into a bowl and add the remaining dressing, stirring to coat. Marinate 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for longer marination, up to eight hours.
• Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray a non-stick skillet or grill pan with cooking spray. Heat pan over medium heat.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and place in the hot pan. (Discard marinade).
• Brown quickly on each side for abouttwo minutes, then transfer to baking pan.
• Spread 2 tablespoons reserved dressing over the chicken and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake 12-15 minutes or until chicken tests done in the thickest part.
