Chicken with Gorgonzola and Sun-dried Tomato Cream Sauce
The first time I had this recipe was in a restaurant in Asheville, N.C. many years ago and the Scotsman in me said I can make Chicken with gorgonzola and sun-dried tomatoes in cream sauce just as good and cheaper at home.
It's a delicious and easy to prepare dish for any night or it can be a spectacular entrée for a fancy dinner party. Served over your favorite tube pasta or bow ties or really any pasta it's a meal you won' forget.
You don't have to use gorgonzola , blue cheese or Stilton can be substituted.
