Cheese, Ham and Pesto Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Posts: 2,485
I cooked some burgers so that our daughter and SIL would have some to take home, but I did not get any pics.
For dinner, I made some chicken breasts stuffed with pesto, ham and cheese.
I took chunks of the cheese and wrapped them in ham slices before stuffing inside the breasts that had been filled with about two teaspoons of pesto. Wrapping the cheese inside the ham really helps hold it inside the chicken when it cooks.
After tying the breasts, I coated them with DP, Dizzy Dust and I cooked them direct, on a raised grate, with a chunk of apple for flavor.
Here we are with the breasts cut and plated. I served it with some broccoli and leftover stuffing from the turkey.

Clever idea with the cheese. Can't tell by the pic's, but did the cheese melt within the breast, or did it stay in one area? I love stuffed breast, but usually use slices. Looks real good

Most of the cheese stays inside the ham.
I used aged provolone and it was really good.
