My husband and I would never think to eat a piece of blue cheese - it's just too strong - but the flavor it gives this dish is incredible! Try it just once and you'll be adding it to your list of favorites! Ingredients:
4 whole chicken legs, backs removed |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons canola oil |
1/2 cup white wine |
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled |
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 lbs asparagus |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cut chicken legs in half at joint.
3. Dredge with flour and set aside.
4. Heat oil in frying pan.
5. Brown chicken pieces on all 4 sides.
6. In a medium bowl, combine wine, blue cheese, soup, salt and pepper.
7. Pour half this mixture into a 12 x 10 glass casserole dish.
8. Place browned chicken on top.
9. Pour remaining soup mixture over chicken.
10. Bake in oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
11. Meanwhile, prepare asparagus.
12. Gently bend stalk near end of spear.
13. Stalk will break at point where it becomes too tough to eat.
14. Discard end.
