As Hubs put it yesterday, for a family that isn't supposed to eat cheese, we sure do have a lot in the fridge. I know, I know, but Doctor's orders says I have to eat it. I am trying to space it out as much as possible but if I have to eat it, I may as well explore all of the wonderful things I can make with it!
Gorgonzola is the Italian's blue cheese. Since Hubs semi thinks he is Italian, I figured I would whip him up some supper while the baby naps. I am becoming an expert at "make ahead meals." When you have a 2 month old that requires your constant attention, you learn do get a LOT done in that hour and a half window when they are napping. If I am lucky, she will give me 2 hours!
For this recipe, you can make it earlier in the day, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until you are ready to cook. Take the dish out a few minutes before you are ready to cook so you aren't placing a super cold dish into a really hot oven.
Sometimes I think chicken can get a bit boring so by encrusting it with something unexpected you can keep your tastebuds happy. This is a recipe for 2, but you can easily multiply it to feed more of a crowd.
