Gorgonzola and Orange Chicken Tenders

As I previously mentioned I have started with Taste of Home Magazine and part of what I do is to try some of their recipes and rate them. This is one of those recipes! I picked this recipe because you don’t always see orange and Gorgonzola together so I wanted to give it a try! Overall, we really liked the recipe and it is something a little different. I made two super simple changes to the recipe, one was just adding more orange marmalade as I wanted a little more “sauce” as I served this over white rice  The second change was using Panko Japanese crumbs, just because I like the bit of crunch it gives! Overall I thought it was very good and I would make it again! If you like orange you are really going to enjoy this recipe!

INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon of salt
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or Panko)
1 pound chicken tenders
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup orange marmalade preserves (or more), warmed
1/4 cup Gorganzola cheese, crumbled

Rice…cooked according to package directions (I served white rice)

DIRECTIONS
In a shallow bowl beat egg and add salt. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken into the egg then into the bread crumbs one chicken piece at a time until you have them all coated. In a large skillet heat oil to medium heat, add chicken pieces, cook chicken 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked all the way through. Warm your marmalade  in a microwave safe bowl and stir. Drizzle the marmalade over the chicken and top with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Remove from heat and cover the skillet to let the cheese melt, just a bit. Serve warm over rice.

Enjoy,
