Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). If grilling indoors, you can use a grill pan heated over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, prepare the Gorgonzola sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to avoid scorching.

Step 7

Once the cream is hot and slightly thickened (about 4-5 minutes), add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 8

To serve, place each grilled chicken breast on a plate and spoon the warm Gorgonzola sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes.
