Description

Chicken Breasts with Gorgonzola

Ingredients

Skin-On Chicken Breasts - 4 pieces
Goat cheese - 4.4 oz
Water - ⅓ cup
Vegetable Oil - 1 tablespoon
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Balsamic Vinegar - 2½ tablespoons
Ground Black Pepper - ½ teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat and place the chicken breasts skin-side down. After 4 minutes, when the skin is browned, flip the breasts and cook for another 4 minutes.

Step 2

Place the skillet with the browned breasts in an oven preheated to 374°F (375 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes. Transfer the cooked breasts to a plate and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

Meanwhile, pour water and vinegar into the skillet where the breasts were cooked. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release the browned gorgonzola, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer for another 3 minutes until thickened. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve, remove excess fat from the surface, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Before serving, drizzle the prepared sauce over the breasts.

Step 5

Make deep cuts in the chicken breasts (halves with skin and bones) and fill the resulting pockets with gorgonzola. Rub the breasts with a mixture of salt and pepper.
