How to Make Baked Blue Cheese Chicken

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1 clove minced garlic. Set aside.
3. Lightly salt 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total).
4. Dredge each chicken breast in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
5. Dip each floured breast in 1 beaten large egg.
6. Roll each chicken breast in 1 cup breadcrumbs.
7. In a large non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
8. Brown chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side.
9. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
10. Pour the blue cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
11. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
12. If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the topping (watch carefully to prevent burning).
