Ingredients:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup garlic, minced
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter an 11-inch pie plate, ensuring it’s well coated to prevent sticking.
-
Layer the Pie Plate: Spread half of the can of soup evenly on the bottom of the prepared pie plate. This will create a flavorful base for your chicken.
-
Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on top of the soup in the pie plate, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not overlapping.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a blender, combine the remaining half of the soup, blue cheese, sour cream, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Pour Sauce Over Chicken: Pour the blended sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each breast is well coated.
-
Add the Topping: Carefully place a frozen pizza upside down on top of the chicken breasts, covering them completely. This will help to seal in moisture and flavor while the chicken bakes.
-
Bake: Cover the pie plate with foil and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
Sprinkle with Cheese: Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the pizza and chicken. Return the uncovered dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once fully cooked, remove the Blue Cheese Chicken Italiano from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this comforting Italian-inspired dish!
