I came up with this recipe after surveying my fridge to find minimal ingredients. I had an abundance of Gorgonzola cheese and chicken and that was pretty much it! I decided to throw this together and see how it turned out. It was a pretty good combination to be hoenst. The sweetness of the cranberries was a nice compliment to the buttery taste of the Gorgonzola.
Serves: 2
2 chicken breasts
1/4 cup of Gorgonzola cheese
1/8 cup of dried cranberries
1/4 cup of bread crumbs (seasoned)
salt and pepper
Place the chicken breasts in a zip lock bag and pound out chicken from the center until chicken is a 1/2 in thick. Pull chicken out of zip lock back and coat front and back with bread crumbs. Heat up Gorgonzola cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds or until soft and creamy. Spread a layer of Gorgonzola cheese on one side of chicken breasts and sprinkle with dried cranberries. Season inside with cracked pepper. Roll chicken up with cheese layer on the inside. Pin ends closed with toothpicks. Repeat with the second chicken breast. Bake in a shallow dish at 350 degrees F for 40-50 minutes or until middle of chicken reads 165 degrees F. Serve immediately.
