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.

ASPARAGUS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
MY SISTER introduced me to this recipe several years ago because she knows I love blue cheese.

I make it every spring when we have fresh homegrown asparagus. -Leona Luecking West Burlington, Iowa

Steps:
- Put oven racks in middle and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
- Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan. Roast on bottom rack, shaking pan once or twice, until just tender, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning over once, until golden, about 6 minutes total. Transfer skillet to middle of oven and roast until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- While chicken roasts, purée tahini, water, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. (Add more water if sauce is too thick.)
- Serve chicken and asparagus drizzled with some of sauce and with remaining sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are woody or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a knife to cut off the bottom 2-3 inches of the spears.
- Cook the asparagus quickly. Asparagus is a delicate vegetable, so it's important to cook it quickly to prevent it from becoming mushy. Steaming, roasting, or sautéing are all good ways to cook asparagus.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken.
- Use a good quality blue cheese. The blue cheese sauce is a key component of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and has a strong flavor.
Conclusion:
Chicken with Asparagus and Blue Cheese Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, the chicken is juicy and moist, and the blue cheese sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
