Quesadillas and Stuffed Chicken Breasts

BobS

I picked up a new recipe for a corn and black bean filling for quesadillas and they were excellent! I used fresh corn, because it was available in the store and I used chili chipotle powder, because it was all I could find at the house. They were excellent!

I added some grilled chicken breasts that were stuffed with aged swiss cheese, homemade Canadian bacon, and pesto sauce and then coated with some BBQ rub. I slow cooked them with pecan and cherry wood.

Here was the prep on the breasts.



Here is the finished plate with the quesadillas and a nice salad. A Pacifico worked nicely to finish the dinner.

Those breasts looked really tasty. I'm still in the stage of playing with time and temps on stuffed meats. It's almost endless the possibilities. Mind if I ask your cooking method. By the looks of the chicken I'm guessing indirect. I'm going to try stuffing some birds with some spinach, basil, garlic and some type of cheese on Friday. So a few hints could really help an eggspiring newb.

I cooked them indirect for about an hour and a half and the temp was 145, so I kicked the temp up to 300 and finished them in about 15 more minutes.

Got it. So low and slow around 250-275 for the first little bit. Sounds good. I appreciate the tips and I will get back to you on my weekend delights.
