Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Sprinkle the basil, pepper, and salt over both sides of the chicken. Using your fingertips, gently press the seasonings so they adhere to the chicken.
Step 2
Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes. Turn over and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 3
Sprinkle the chicken with the blue cheese and green onion. Let stand, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly melted.
