Chicken with Stilton Sauce
This creamy Chicken with Stilton Sauce is a firm favorite – even with non-Stilton lovers. The addition of creme fraiche makes it a little lighter than some of the other cream based sauces.
Chicken with Stilton Sauce is an old French recipe. Perfect served with some fresh steamed vegetables and for the bigger appetite, double up the vegetables steering away from the starchy ones.
For the Stilton loathers out there, I have kept the amount of Stilton added to a minimum. Obviously, you can add extra to suit your taste buds. My husband is not a lover of this blue veined cheese, however, I am, so I go somewhere in the middle to please all.
If you are all about the cheese, your going to love this:
