Keto blue cheese chicken with walnut salad was a real hit. Sauce very flavorful and the leek made a good base for the sauce. I used a mild blue cheese and chopped the leek. Added a sprinkle of heroes de Provence to the dish just before serving. I made the recipe for four. We are looking forward to enjoying the remaining two servings for a quick Sunday supper. The walnut salad with olive oil drizzle paired well with the dish. When I make it again, I will serve up the salad on a separate plate so we can enjoy an extra spoonful of sauce with any seeping into the salad on our dinner plates. For the wine, I used Pinot Grigio (Barefoot). Nice , slightly sweet finish to the sauce.
