TUSCAN GRILLED CHICKEN WITH WARM GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Tuscan Grilled Chicken With Warm Gorgonzola Sauce image

This was a winner in the Paula Deen recipe round up in the Nov/Dec.2009 Cooking with Paula Deen contest. It was submitted by Radelle Knappenberger and cooked and judged by Paula Deen. This recipe features a creamy sauce over chicken and we used the extra sauce on a side of pasta as well. Warning capers are not for everyone. This sauce needs to really thicken and takes time so don't make it when you are in a rush. Weekend recipe for sure. Make the sauce first and when it is almost ready do the grilling. I know it is written the opposite here but it works better that way. If after these caveats you want to make it, do so. It is yummy. It is served over whole breasts but slicing the breasts and drizzling sauce disperses the sauce even more. It is up to you. Enjoy! ChefDLH

  • Grilling the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • Making the Gorgonzola sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the Gorgonzola cheese and cook until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serving the dish: Place the grilled chicken breasts on a serving platter. Spoon the warm Gorgonzola sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
