Chicken Gorgonzola Pasta Recipe
This dish is just as good as any restaurant's Chicken Gorgonzola. The lemon zest adds so much flavor to the dish.

Ingredients
  • 2 large boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 shallots, minced
  • 1 lb. farfalle, fusilli, or penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 lb. Gorgonzola cheese, rind removed, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup heavy (double) cream
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 6 fresh sage leaves, coarsely chopped

Directions
  1. Season cubed chicken with salt and pepper
  2. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil. Saute chicken breasts until cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  4. Meanwhile, in the same pan used for chicken breasts, melt the butter. Add the shallots and saute until soft, about 4 minutes.
  5. Generously salt the boiling water, add the pasta, and cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat under the frying pan to low and add the stock, cheese, cream , and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to tast and stir until all the ingredients are smooth and melted, about 4 minutes.
  7. Drain the pasta and add it to the frying pan. Remove from the heat. Add the chicken and sage; toss briefly until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. If the sauce seems to thick, add a bit more chicken stock or a splash of hot water. Pour into a large, shallow bowl. Serve immediately.

This dish doesn't need any alterations, however when I made it I used thinly sliced leek instead of shallots (just because that's what most italian restaurants I've been to have used) and added porcini mushrooms to it/used the stock from those instead of chicken stock. I also left out the lemon zest because I'm allergic. I also tossed a bit of grated parmesan into the sauce along with the gorgonzola. GREAT RECIPE!!
