CHICKEN GORGONZOLA
Chicken breasts are sauteed to a golden brown then topped with a rich, savory Gorgonzola sauce. Serve with steamed green beans and fresh crusty bread if you are looking for a winner to impress your dinner guests. This dish is so decadent it tastes exactly as though you ordered it at a fine Italian restaurant, but the secret is how simple it actually is to make! This sauce is also a wonderful accompaniment to pork chops, ravioli, or whatever strikes your fancy! It is very versatile, so the possibilities are endless!

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.
- Serve each chicken breast on a plate topped with sauce.

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.

- Return skillet to burner (handle will be very hot) and add water and vinegar. Boil, stirring and scraping up any brown bits and melted cheese, until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof measuring cup, then skim off excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with sauce.

Steps:
- Mix together in a gallon-sized plastic bag the flour, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne and black pepper; add the chicken chunks and toss to coat.
- Preheat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture and sauté, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink. Chicken will not be brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Cover with aluminum foil to keep it warm.
- To the hot skillet, add the chicken broth, white wine, smashed garlic cloves and chopped rosemary. Bring the mixture to a bubble and cook for 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Add the reserved chicken back to the sauce and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, another 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce is thick and the chicken is cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to low then add the gorgonzola, lemon juice and half-and-half.
- Stir the mixture together until the cheese has melted and the sauce is a smooth consistency. If it is too thick, thin it out with some chicken broth. Remove smashed garlic (if you can find it).
- To serve, spoon over wild/white rice mix or brown rice and sprinkle with a few sprigs fresh rosemary.
