Stuffed Chicken Breasts Help...

Today I'm gonna do some pesto/mozzarella stuffed chicken breasts. Made them before in the oven but wanna do it on the Egg. What's the best setup for this on the Egg? Indirect, 350? Should I butterfly the chicken and tie up or should I pound out and roll up and then tie up?

Hi Eddie- All of your ideas are valid and will work just fine.If you are looking for a few other ideas, we do ours raised direct at 400 or so. You could do indirect as well but with really lean meats, I like to go direct and a little faster to keep them moist. We pound flat and just fold over. No rolling or tying. Of course bacon wrapped are alwasy good Here are some thighs we did wrapped at 400 raised direct:Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Cool, I'll do direct then! I just looked and I don't have bacon. Perhaps I'll have the wifey pick some up, however, it all depends on when she's on her way homeLarge BGE

I thought I had some pics of thighs we did just folded over but it works well too. If you pound them flat, they stay folded very nicely during the cookKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

the bacon was meat glued around a folded thigh. It held it all togetherKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I was waiting for the meat glue appearance-"truth in advertising" >-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Mickey, happy to share the knowledge. I actually learned that from Stike as he was describing how he was going to tie up Little Steven, I mean, a bresaola and hang it out to dry.

Are we approaching TMI here between meat glue and various bonding knots Perhaps this thread has taken a turn down the dirt road-but if you can skip those posts-some good info >-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.
