| Blue Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breasts
4 medium boneless skinless chicken breast halves, (abt 1 lb total)
Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup of chopped pecans, toasted
1 package cream cheese, (3 oz), softened
1/4 cup of crumbled blue cheese, (1 oz)
2 tablespoons of butter or margarine, melted
1/4 teaspoon of paprika |
|
Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels. Place each half between two pieces of plastic wrap. Working from center to edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4 inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl combine pecans, cream cheese, and blue cheese. Place about 1/4 cup cheese mixture on each chicken piece. Fold in the sides: roll up jelly-roll style, pressing edges to seal.
Place chicken in a 2-quart square baking dish. In a small bowl combine margarine or butter and paprika. Brush chicken with mixture. Bake, uncovered, in a 350ºF. oven for about 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
