About
Fontina cheese has a distinct, almost mushroom-like flavor that helps it pair beautifully with meats. So obviously the best use of fontina cheese is to mix it with cream cheese, fatty bacon, and zesty sun-dried tomatoes and then use it to fill savory chicken! Fontina Chicken has rolls of juicy chicken coated with crunchy bread crumbs and smoky paprika and bursting with fontina taste. Serving up Fontina Chicken promises that dinner becomes a top-notch affair that elite restaurants could only dream of topping.
