The chicken was the star of this dish. It tasted wonderful with just a bit of sauce on it. I substituted shallots for regular onion and it lended a great taste to the sauce. However, if I made this again I would cut down on the amount of gorgonzola. It was so overpowering, I couldn't finish my plate.
