Ingredients
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened, divided
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 whole boneless chicken breasts with skin (not split)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Prep and Cook Time 22 minutes
1. Prepare grill for grilling. Combine blue cheese, 1 tablespoon margarine and thyme in small bowl until blended. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Loosen skin over breast of chicken by pushing fingers between skin and meat, taking care not to tear skin. Spread blue cheese mixture under skin with rubber spatula or small spoon; massage skin to evenly spread cheese mixture.
3. Place chicken, skin side down, on grid over medium coals. Grill, covered, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon margarine; stir in lemon juice and paprika. Turn chicken; brush with lemon juice mixture. Grill 5 to 7 minutes more or until chicken is cooked through. Transfer chicken to carving board; cut each breast in half.
Serving Suggestion Serve with steamed new potatoes and broccoli.
