Herbed balsamic chicken with blue cheese

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:

3 tbsp olive oil
40g
2 tsp salt
12g
6 chicken breasts
710g
3 oz blue cheese
81g
1/2 cup vinegar
130g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
2 cloves garlic
8g
2 tsp dried oregano
2g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade:
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the marinade.
3. Marinate the Chicken:
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.
4. Cook the Chicken:
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet, reserving the marinade.
5. Sear the Chicken:
Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
6. Bake the Chicken:
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).
7. Add Blue Cheese:
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.
8. Serve:
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.
