Cómo preparar Blue Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cut a horizontal slit into the thickest part of each chicken breast, creating a pocket, but be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Using a small spoon, stuff the blue cheese mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 15 minutes uncovered.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
- Turn the chicken breasts, brush generously with the lemon-paprika butter sauce, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- For extra cheesy goodness, top each chicken breast with an additional 1/2 ounce of crumbled blue cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
