BLUE
CHEESE-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Ingredients:
4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1
lb. total)
salt
pepper
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 3oz package cream-cheese, softened
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (1 ounce)
2 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
1/4 tsp 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
& 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 350 degree
oven for about 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and no
longer pink.
