Cooking steps
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have a golden crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chopped dill and basil to the skillet and stir for another minute.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Serve the French-style chicken with your choice of side dish - cooked rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or mixed greens.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
