Blue Cheese Chicken

Ingredients

1 ½ (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

softened

1 cup crumbled blue cheese

1 egg

2 cups bread crumbs

2 skinless

boneless chicken breasts

halved and pounded into 1/2-inch thickness

3 cups cooked white rice

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir cream cheese and blue cheese together in a bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third shallow bowl.

Step 3

Spread cheese mixture over each chicken piece. Roll each piece of chicken around filling; dip into egg and press into bread crumbs until coated. Arrange chicken rolls on a baking sheet or baking pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cheese mixture will start to run out when done. Serve chicken over cooked rice.
