This dish would pair well with collard greens, maple bacon or balsamic-glazed brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes or even butternut squash. You could also serve it with a light, green salad.

The grits are fantastic, especially if you love blue cheese. Creamy and perfect on a winter night. The glaze was dominated by the mustard and red pepper, and lives up to its "spicy" name, but I would definitely use double the apple butter and half the mustard next time. I also think, since both components of the dish are so strong flavored, I would serve them separately next time.

One of our favorite recipes. Have made it numerous times for guests...always to rave reviews.

Was a little skeptical about using the apple butter, but the combination with the gorgonzola grits was great. The kids were less enthusiastic about the grits - not big fans of gorgonzola - but they ate up the chicken. Even my non-grits-eating hubby enjoyed the new flavors.
