Blue Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Ingredients
  • 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound total)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 3 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup  crumbled blue cheese (1 ounce)
  • 1/2 cup  toasted chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons  margarine or butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon  paprika
  • Snipped parsley (optional)
Directions

1. Place each breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Working from center to the edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Season with salt and pepper.

2. In a small bowl combine cream cheese, blue cheese, and pecans. Place about 1/4 cup cheese mixture on each chicken breast. Fold chicken around filling to form a mound; repeat with remaining chicken.

3. Place chicken portions in a 2-quart square baking dish. In a small bowl combine margarine or butter and paprika. Brush each chicken portion with mixture. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F. oven about 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
