Print Recipe

The bold, tangy taste of blue cheese pairs beautifully with tender, pan-seared chicken breasts, creating a gourmet-style meal that’s surprisingly easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

  • Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, then add the blue cheese and Parmesan. Cook, stirring, until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy—about 3–4 minutes.

  • Add lemon juice, then taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through.

  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
