Here's an easy recipe for rich-and-creamy baked blue cheese chicken that you can throw together any night of the week. The flavor of the blue cheese really comes through, creating a bold and decadent sauce that you'll want to eat with a spoon.

You'll have more than enough blue cheese sauce to cover the chicken, so make sure to serve a side that also will go well with the sauce, like potatoes or steamed broccoli. This warm sauce also makes a great blue cheese dip for crackers or bread.

The type of blue cheese you choose for this sauce is up to you. While the quality of the blue cheese will affect the final flavor of the dish, you don't need to buy the most expensive blue cheese at the shop for this particular blue cheese sauce to turn out well.

2 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup whole milk (or half and half)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt, to taste

Gather the ingredients.
Preheat oven to 375 F. In a food processor, blend blue cheese, cream cheese, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and season with salt, if necessary.
Place chicken breasts in an 8-inch square (or slightly smaller) baking dish. Pour blue cheese sauce on top, smoothing it out evenly in the pan over and around the chicken.
Bake 35 minutes uncovered, then turn oven temperature down to 325 F and cook 10 minutes more. The sauce should be bubbling and browned around the edges.
Remove from oven. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
For the prettiest presentation, slice chicken breasts and spoon sauce on top and around chicken on a plate. Garnish with chives or green onions. If you have more blue cheese, crumble on top.
