We live near the Faribault, Minnesota caves that are used to age the lovely Amableu Gorgonzola cheese. Chicken topped with melting Gorgonzola is quick enough for weeknight cooking but also elegant enough for a dinner party. —Jill Anderson, Sleepy Eye, Minnesota

Tip

Gorgonzola

An Italian cheese from the blue cheese family that is cream-yellow in color with characteristic blue veins. Like blue cheese, it has a bold flavor and crumbles easily, making it a good addition to salads and sauces.

Full-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or Viognier.

This recipe was fabulous. I added sauted onions and sundried tomatoes.

Just wanted to add another note. I did not use any of the salt it called for because between the cheese and the wine there is more than enough salt.

My husband and I absolutely love this recipe. I make it quite frequently. It is delicious!!! Just a little note. Instead of mincing the garlic I pressed the garlic with a garlic press and it worked very very well and actually gave the dish more garlic flavor and it was delicious!!

My husband and I both really enjoyed this. It's going in our "keeper" recipe file. We'll definitely make it again.

this is really easy and fast. I made it with dry vermouth instead of the marsala and just regular button mushrooms. A standby recipe in out family now.

Fantastic recipe! My family loved it!

It's hard to give this an accurate rating because in my case, it was extremely salty. I realize that might be my fault, as I salted the mushrooms slightly as I cooked them, not realizing the "cooking wine" I got from the store also had a lot of salt in it. If using that type of wine, omit all other salt. I think it would have been excellent if not for that.
