Stuffed Chicken Breast

jcaspary

The wife requested stuffed chicken breast for dinner last night. So in the interest of "happy life happy wife" that is exactly what we had. Brined for 8 hours, flattened out, coated with Big Green Egg Kodiak River rub, then in the fridge for another 8 hours. Stuffed with cream cheese and various spices then tied up. Cooked raised indirect until 165 it. Overshot a little was busy getting homemade seasoned French fries and broccoli sides completed. Delicious dinner all around.

I want to try stuffed chix. From what I've read, there is no one type of cheese to use. I like cream cheese so I may try that.

Any pointers?

Looks great to me. I'm going for my first tomorrow. I've been thinking up a mushroom stuffed chicken with a marsala sauce to serve on top.

Thanks all for the compliments.  Dinner was absolutely delicious.

@gatabites Not too many pointers that I didn't mention.  The only thing I plan on doing next time is flattening the chicken out more and when I put the cream cheese mixture in I will put more just in the middle then roll and tie them up.  I spread the cheese evenly on the breast and lost a lot of the cheese.  Hoping to hold more in the other way.

@lkapigan I tie them up hoping to keep the cheese inside from leaking out.

@tarheelhatt I wanted a sliced picture in there also.  The problem was I sliced it and then tasted.  Off to the races from there.  Need to slice, pic, destroy.  LOL

@yzzi Mushrooms would be a welcomed addition.  I made these before and the wife wanted me to copy what I did before.  Next time mushrooms will be added.  She loves them anyways.
