Herbed balsamic chicken with blue cheese is a gourmet dish that combines the rich flavors of balsamic vinegar and blue cheese with succulent chicken breasts. This recipe is perfect for a special dinner or a fancy get-together, offering a delightful balance of tangy, savory, and creamy notes.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet, reserving the marinade.
Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken breasts in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the hot chicken breasts. The heat from the chicken will soften the cheese.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors. Serve the herbed balsamic chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour to ensure that the flavors are well absorbed.
- Use high-quality balsamic vinegar for a richer and more complex flavor.
- If you prefer a milder blue cheese flavor, you can substitute with a less intense variety or reduce the amount used.
- Make sure to preheat your oven for even cooking and to achieve a nice, golden-brown color on the chicken.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking to let the juices redistribute, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.
Herbed balsamic chicken with blue cheese is a dish that will impress your family and friends with its delectable flavor profile and elegant presentation. Follow these tips and steps carefully to create a meal that’s not only delicious but also visually appealing. Enjoy the delightful blend of herbs, balsamic vinegar, and cheese with each bite.
