TUSCAN GRILLED CHICKEN WITH WARM GORGONZOLA SAUCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350 to 400 degrees). Spray grill rack with nonstick, nonflammable cooking spray. Grill chicken, covered with grill lid, for about 7 to 10 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside and keep warm. In a medium sauce pan, add chicken broth and cook over high heat until reduced by half. Stir in cream; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is reduced by one-third. Add Gorgonzola, garlic, and pepper. Stir until cheese melts and sauce is creamy. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes. Serve chicken with desired amount of Gorgonzola sauce and capers.

GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the heavy cream to a full boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then continue to boil rapidly for 45 to 50 minutes, until thickened like a white sauce, stirring occasionally.
• Off the heat, add the Gorgonzola, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk rapidly until the cheeses melt and serve warm. If you must reheat, warm the sauce over low heat until melted, then whisk vigorously until the sauce comes together.

CHICKEN GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Combine basil leaves, 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, and garlic in a food processor; process until pesto is smooth.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to serving platter.
• Cook and stir mushrooms in a single layer in the same skillet until tender, about 5 minutes. Add onion; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add half of the Gorgonzola cheese; cook until slightly melted. Pour in wine and stir to scrape up brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir lemon juice, chicken broth, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper into the sauce.
• Bring chicken broth mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by 1/4, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in pesto and return chicken to the skillet. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 5 minutes more. Add remaining Gorgonzola cheese and chopped tomatoes.

HAZELNUT CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mix flour, poultry seasoning and garlic powder in a dish. Beat egg whites in a shallow plate or bowl. Place hazelnuts on a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap on a cutting board or work surface.
• Preheat a nonstick skillet with oven safe handle over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Turn in flour to dust the breasts, then turn in egg whites, then press breasts into nuts on both sides. Wash hands. Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add chicken. Brown the nuts and chicken 2 minutes on each side then transfer to the oven and finish cooking the chicken through, about 8 minutes.
• In a small pot, warm milk over medium heat. Add cheese and melt it into the milk. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped sage and simmer 5 minutes.
• To serve, place chicken on plates and pour a couple of spoons of the Gorgonzola sauce over the center of each piece. Garnish with chopped sage.

GRILLED TUSCAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Add the chopped rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a large resealable plastic bag.
• Using kitchen shears, cut down both sides of the chicken's backbone and remove the backbone.
• Oil the grill grates, remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chickens skin-side down on the hot grill rack.
• Place 2 foil-covered bricks on top of the chicken to weigh it down. Grill 20 minutes, then remove the bricks and flip. Continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before carving.
• Serve the chicken on a bed of arugula with lemon slices.

JOHNNY CARINO'S GORGONZOLA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts until they are 1/2 inch thick season with salt and pepper. Sear chicken in a hot skillet with two tablespoons of oil over medium high heat. Cook on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes or until completely cooked. Remove chicken breasts from heat, and let rest for several minutes before slicing. You may need to add an additional tablespoon of butter or two to the sauce pan to saute the mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms on medium high heat until they are browned. While mushrooms are browning sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Cook pasta according to instructions on the package. Johnny Carino's typically uses penne pasta, but I like to use a fettuccine pasta because I think it holds the sauce better. Prepare sauce by combining half and half and Gorgonzola in a saucepan heating through. The sauce should thicken slightly. Slice chicken into 1/4 inch slices. Add sauteed mushrooms to the sauce, and stir to combine well. Plate pasta by adding 1/4 of the pasta, 1/4 of the chicken slices. Drizzle with sauce, and top with chopped tomatoes and shredded Parmesan.
• If you need to reheat this dish, I recommend leaving all of this unassembled and reassemble just before serving again. If you do not combine the pasta sauce and pasta together while this is refrigerated the sauce won't soak into the pasta.

IGOR'S TUSCAN GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a stainless-steel or ceramic bowl, combine the crushed garlic, rosemary, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the mixture, making sure that it is well covered with the mariande. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degress, or if using a grill, light the coals.
• Place a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it smokes. Remove the chicken from the marinade, pat it dry with paper towels and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken, skin side down, in the hot pan. Press a weight on the bird and sear for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from heat; remove weight.
• If using the oven, roast the chicken, still in the skillet and skin side down, for 15 minutes, basting twice with the excess marinade. Turn over, rebaste and roast an additional 20 minutes.
• If using a grill, sear the chicken on the top of the stove as above. Remove from the skillet and place on a grill very close to the white coals, skin side down, for 20 minutes. Turn over, cover the grill and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the thigh juices run clear when pricked with a fork. Baste the chicken frequently with the extra marinade.
