How to Make Chicken In Stilton

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Chop 1 large onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic. Sauté in 2 tablespoons of butter until softened.
  3. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a greased casserole dish. Add the sautéed onion and garlic, 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 1 bay leaf, and 1 cup dry white wine.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  6. While chicken bakes, prepare the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking wine from the casserole dish.
  7. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and continue stirring over low heat until the sauce thickens and is smooth.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 4 oz crumbled Stilton cheese until melted and creamy.
  9. Strain the remaining wine from the casserole dish (reserve for another use if desired).
  10. Pour the Stilton sauce over the cooked chicken. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  11. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  12. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
