Gorgonzola Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Strawberry Gastrique - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup gorgonzola, crumbled
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 ounces prosciutto, chopped
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Strawberry Sauce
1 cup strawberry, chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Combine gorgonzola, thyme, pepper and prosciutto in a bowl. Cut a horizontal slip through the thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket. Spoon 3 tablespoons of cheese mixture into each pocket. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
To make the sauce, place strawberries in a small saucepan. Partially mash strawberries with a fork or large spoon. Stir in sugar, vinegar, broth, coriander and black pepper.
Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture has reduced to 2/3 cup, this should take about 30 minutes.
Strain strawberry sauce through a sieve over a bowl. Discard the solids. (I actually left the sauce as is and did not strain.).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 5 minutes per side, or until browned and completely cooked. Serve with sauce.
