Steps:
- Sauce -- In a small saucepan on medium low heat, add the cream, cheese, garlic and shallot, and let simmer for about 7-10 minutes until it slightly reduces.
- Finishing -- Once it has reduced slightly and the sauce thickens on it's own, add a pinch of hot sauce (optional), pepper, and the parsley. I don't add any salt as the cheese is salty enough. Stir well to combine.
- Serve -- Done! I love to drizzle over steak, roasts, pork chops and tenderloins, veggies, anything you want. Just ENJOY!

Serve sauce warm with potato chips for dipping.
- Place the potato slices on a baking sheet between layers of paper towels to make sure they are very dry before frying.
- Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan until the temperature of the oil reaches 400 degrees F on a deep-fat thermometer.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
Chef Pierre Franey: This dish, like so many I have created over the years, came about by accident. One day while cooking with Craig Claiborne, I asked our kitchen assistant to hand me some cheese, thinking we had some Gruyere. Instead, he handed me a quarter pound of blue cheese. My first reaction was negative, but on second thought I said, "Why not?" I was very pleased with the result.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the breast halves with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken in one layer over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown lightly on one side. Turn and continue cooking about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the pieces and keep warm.
- Meanwhile. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. Add the broth and milk, and continue stirring rapidly. 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 saute briefly on both sides just enough 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, stiffing 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 1 1/3 cups of sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve hot.

Tips:

- Use a high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor. A sharp or robust blue cheese will provide a bolder taste, while a milder blue cheese will result in a more subtle flavor.
- If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken or vegetable broth.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and cayenne pepper to your taste preferences. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you reach the desired flavor.
- For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite dishes, such as steak, chicken, or pasta.
