- Preheat oven to 375 F. In a food processor, blend blue cheese, cream cheese, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and season with salt, if necessary.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the breast halves on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on one side and partly cooked. Turn and continue cooking about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the pieces and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. Add the broth and milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. 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 cook briefly on both sides just 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, stirring, 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 11/3 cups of sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve hot.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
Conclusion:
Blue cheese and lemon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tangy blue cheese and bright lemon flavors creates a unique and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
