Chicken In Blue Cheese Sauce
An easy recipe for Chicken in blue cheese sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken breasts
- 150 ml whipping cream
- 100 g blue cheese (or processed cheese/spread)
- a handful of parsley
- 3 tsps salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 small red chilli pepper
- 1 shallot
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tsps chilli flakes
- ½ tsp paprika powder
Instructions
- Wash and cut the chicken breasts into small pieces. You can also keep them large and thick (like I did) but it will take more time to cook.
- Season the chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and chilli flakes. Cover the chicken breasts with them and make sure the seasoning is everywhere. Put the meat aside for 3 minutes.
- Heat the pan with olive oil and fry the chicken pieces on each side until brownish. It can take 10 minutes on each side - it can also look raw and unseasoned (trust me, even I was sceptical) but it's worth the wait. Fry it slowly on low-medium heat until brownish and soft. Take the pieces out of the pan.
- Chop up the garlic, shallot, and red chilli pepper. Throw them into the same pan and fry for about one minute. Add whipping cream, and paprika powder, blue cheese (spread or parmesan cheese), and give it a good stir. Cook for 2 minutes. Taste the sauce and if needed add black pepper and salt.
- Put the chicken into the pan, sprinkle over some parsley, and cover it with a lid. Cook for another 5 minutes on low heat.
