A good alternative to chicken wings which are usually fried in bad oils. This is also much fancier a dish.
4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
5 Tablespoons Blue Cheese, Crumbled 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
1⁄4 Cup Hot Pepper Sauce (check ingredients) Romaine Lettuce
Celery and Celery Leaves
Place chicken breasts between sheet of waxed or parchment paper. Pound the chicken breasts down to a 1/4 inch thickness. In a large glass bowl, make the marinade by mixing together the butter and hot pepper sauce. Add the chicken into the marinade, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate 15 - 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and spoon 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese onto the center of each chicken breast. Fold in the sides, rolling the chicken around the blue cheese. Secure with wooden picks.
Place the chicken rolls in a baking pan. Bake in 400F oven for 30 minutes or until chicken is fork tender. Set the temperature control at broil or 450F. Arrange the oven rack so the chicken is about 8 inches from the heat. Broil the chicken for about 5 minutes or until brown. Remove the wooden picks from the chicken. Arrange lettuce and chicken on platter. Garnish with celery and celery leaves and remaining blue cheese.
