My sister in law has a favorite cheese that she gets whenever she goes to Australia called Tasty Cheese. To her absolute joy, they now carry a very very close version of it at Costco called Boxing Cheddar. It's technically an aged sharp cheddar cheese, the best description of the taste I can come up with is an aged cheddar with a twist of good, crunchy parmesan. Anyway, joking with her today I said maybe I would invent a Tasty Cheese chicken dish for dinner. Not having any other brilliant gourmet morsels planned, I decided to actually give it a try.
I started by marinating the chicken breasts in red wine, olive oil, a splosh of dijon, and some Bavarian Seasoning from Penzeys and baking them. Then I added some left over Rioja Wine Vinaigrette from the ahi recipe I made Tuesday. (Bobby Flay's Bolo's Seared Tuna which was wonderful!!) and topped it with the shredded Tasty Cheese then tossed it back in the oven to melt.
It turned out pretty darned tasty!!
One little tweak I need to make next time: I put too much of the vinaigrette on the chicken before adding the cheese, so it basically just slid off the chicken.
