I’d been planning tonight’s speriment for about a week, ever since I still had gorgonzola. So even though I’d already baked bread this morning, I couldn’t pass up this recipe. Gorgonzola Chicken Thighs from food.com. I have to say as I re-read the recipe, it seemed a little complicated.
Ingredients:
- Gorgonzola – check
- Breadcrumbs – check
- Ground Black Pepper – check
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs – check
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil – check
- Salt – check
So the whole ordeal began with cutting up some potatoes, which were fully NOT involved in this dish specifically, but I made mashed potatoes too (I’m an old hand at that one, pretty much my family you have to be). So anyway, I cut the potatoes and then put them in a pot with water to boil slowly while I prepped the chicken.
The recipe is a little complicated…but ok, so breading things with gorgonzola and trying to make it stick is NOT EASY. Trying to roll chicken thighs into a semblance of wonder also NOT EASY. Long story short I put the chicken together and got them into the oven. I’m sure you can check out the recipe on google if you’d like. While the chicken cooked, I cleaned up and mashed the potatoes.
The first time I took the chicken out, I realized it really needed to cook longer, so this teaches me that I need to be better at understanding what looks “done” coming out of an oven. Finally they were finished. I had also attempted some gravy for the potatoes but that ended in an epic fail so I won’t document that here.
My take on this recipe: +5 for taste, they were really good! I’m glad I’ll have some extra dinner items for this week. Even though you couldn’t really taste the gorgonzola at all, but I suppose I shouldn’t have expected any different, -3 for complicated set up and cooking, -2 for too much cleanup. I definitely enjoyed the end result, but I think I wouldn’t make it again in a hurry due to my lack of desiring to get so messy, or maybe I’d do it if I hadn’t made bread in the morning.
