How to Make Tuscan Grilled Chicken With Warm Gorgonzola Sauce

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Spray grill rack with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Grill chicken breasts (about 6-8 oz each) for 7-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove chicken from grill and set aside; keep warm.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  7. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency and reduced by one-third (about 8-10 minutes).
  8. Add 4 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled; 2 cloves garlic, minced; and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  10. Stir in 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed, drained.
  11. Slice grilled chicken breasts and drizzle generously with the Gorgonzola sauce. Garnish with 1 tablespoon capers (optional).
  12. Serve immediately. Makes 8 servings.
