Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 120 grams Gorgonzola cheese
• 60 grams cream cheese, softened
• 15 grams fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 200 grams strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 50 grams sugar
• 60 ml red wine vinegar
• 30 ml balsamic vinegar
• 30 ml water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the Gorgonzola cheese, cream cheese, and parsley until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast using a sharp knife. Be careful not to slice all the way through.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast with an equal portion of the Gorgonzola mixture, and secure the edges with toothpicks to prevent the filling from leaking out.

Step 5

Season the chicken breasts all over with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken is baking, prepare the strawberry gastrique. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, sugar, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and water.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

Step 11

Once the chicken is finished cooking, remove the toothpicks and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 12

Plate each chicken breast and drizzle with the warm strawberry gastrique. Serve immediately and enjoy!
