Chicken breasts go from ordinary to extraordinary when filled with tart cranberries and creamy Gorgonzola. Make it a meal with couscous and a green salad. —Kara Firstenberger, Cardiff, California

Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

2/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a small bowl, combine cheese and cranberries. Spoon 1/4 cup cheese mixture down the center of each chicken breast. Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
Place walnuts and parsley in a food processor, cover and process until ground. Transfer to a shallow bowl; stir in the bread crumbs, salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, combine eggs and mustard. Place flour in a third shallow bowl. Coat chicken with flour, then dip in egg mixture and coat with walnut mixture.

It was just ok. Maybe I need to reduce the amount of gorgonzola cheese next time.

Made these for Christmas dinner... These were worth the work it took to put them together. My whole family raved about them!

I found this extremely difficult to put together. Once the chicken is rolled up, it's very hard to "roll" in the flour or "dip" in the egg. Mine was a mess.

These things are drop dead delish! Just go light on the Gorgonzola.

Going to make tonight with feta instead of gorgonzola.
