Ingredients


Preparation

In a large pot of boiling water, boil the penne until al dente, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, get the chicken on the grill: Preheat grill or grill pan. Trim chicken breast of any fat (be sure to devein it!). Add salt and pepper to taste, and brush lightly with vegetable oil. Grill chicken breast after 3 minutes, turn and rotate 45 degrees, then flip. Sear for 3 minutes, rotate 45 degrees, and, after checking for doneness, remove.

While the chicken is grilling, make the gorgonzola sauce. In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat and add diced shallots until softened, about 1-2 minutes. Lower heat to low and add gorgonzola cheese, stirring as it melts. Add cream, chicken broth and walnuts. Keep heat on low, but gradually raise it to medium, stirring, taking care not to curdle or boil the sauce.

Drain the penne, add to serving bowl or dish.

Fair point sakh2 -- I completely forgot that I usually add some chicken broth to the gorgonzola cream sauce mixture, and that the walnuts are to go into the sauce with the gorgonzola. I've updated the recipe.

Not that good, way to much cheese and cream, also, the recipe doesnt tell you what to do with the wallnuts.
