Last nights sacrifice: stuffed chicken breast

The weather has been so nice this weekend that me and wife along with another couple loaded up rode out of town some Sat. and Sun. afternoon but did manage to do a burn last night. 3 large chicken breast cut to make a pocket. Then in a pan over medium heat saltaed 1/2 can sundryed tomatoes, mushrooms, fresh garlic to taste and chopped onion with alittle EVOO (extra viggine olive oil I have learned!) Once vegs are soft add 1/2 cup italian bread crums and cook 3 more min and remove frome heat. Take slice swiss cheese and cut in 1/3 and lay in pocket cut in the breast, break up a slice 99% fat free sandwitch ham in stuffing mixture and cram the pockets full. Cover tops with limon pepper seasoning. Next vegies I mixed yellow squash, mushrooms, broccili, green beans (all fresh) with can of Rotel tomatoes, chose your fire.(I had bought 2 differant cans last time I was at store. One mild and one HOT WITH HABERNARO PEPPERS. Wife made the vegies and grabed "my" can of HOT by mistake. I love hot foods but know one knew untill me, her and a single partner I work with sat down and started eating. They thought it was the shrimp till wife pulled can out of trash and saw what she had did! They both had sweat on there faces :woohoo: .) Any way toss fresh vegies in EVOO and limon pepper, place in fire safe bowel and pour on Rotel. Set "Q" at 300 degrees and stablize, throw on couple chunks of the "trinity" Oak, Presimmon, and Hickory and place vegies uncovered on top of inverted platesetter with 3 small rocks between it and setter to create air space for 20 min. After 20 min cover with foil and put your rack on platesetter legs with chicken breast. Continue cooking at 300 till breast temp of 165. No more! Took me about an hr on the breast and hour 20 min. on the vegies. Wrapped breast in foil and took them and plate of vegies inside to keep warm. Next spicy shrimp which I will cut and past hear. Spicy Shrimp
Ingredients:
• 1 lb 15 ct shrimp, peeled to the last section leaving the tail for a handle, butter flied
• 2 Clove Garlic, minced
• 1 Tbs Kosher salt
• 1 tsp Paprika
• ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp Lemon juice
• 2 Tbs Olive oil
Cooking Directions:
• These shrimp are really killer. The recipe comes from a Mark Bittman cook book, and about the only thing you can do wrong with it is to over cook the shrimp, or try to use ones that are too small and they fall through the grid. I use the frozen U-15 ones from Sam's club. Take 1 Tbs of kosher salt and 2 garlic cloves (minced) and mash them into a paste with the side of your knife or a mortar and pestal (easier). Add to that paste 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tsp lemon juice, and 2 Tbs olive oil. Thaw and peel the shrimp, all but the tail section, for a handle. Butterfly them by cutting down the back halfway through the shrimp. If they have a vein remove it now. Mix the shrimp with the marinade then grill direct. Go about 2 minutes on the first side at about 400 dome, when they start to curl up, flip them and watch until they curl fairly tight and remove immediately. Some of them won't curl tight but you can pretty much tell when they are done, don't overcook! Let them rest for a few minutes and enjoy. -RP

Submitted by AZRP Great recipe AZRP Chicken and shrimp were great. Only problem with the vegies was they needed another 30 min to be tinder. Some would like them that way as still had some crunch to them but I like mine soft. Was looking to make a lower fat meal that still tast good and I thank I sucedded. Even Jake was contented and ready for a nap afterward! :laugh:

Looks great but I have to wonder what your bird was thinking when he saw CHICKEN BREASTS :silly:
Reminds me of the old joke
One day an elderly pastor confides in his parishioners that he's feeling a bit lonely and depressed. So one of the parishioners suggests to the pastor that he buy a pet. Thinking this a grand idea, the pastor hurries into town and after much deliberation, buys a parrot.
Unfortunately not five minutes after arriving home, the parrot starts hurling a string of expletives at the pastor.
After about an hour it gets to be too much, so the pastor walks up to the parrot, slaps him on the beak, and yells, "QUIT IT!" But this just makes the parrot madder and he starts swearing at the pastor in even more colorful language.
Finally the pastor has had it and says, "All right, that's it. Grabbing a blanket, the pastor throws it over the parrot's cage and screams, "Now, SHUT UP!" Well, this really irritates the parrot and he starts clawing and scratching at the bars of his cage. Finally the pastor removes the blanket. Immediately the parrot starts right in on the pastor again.
By this time, the pastor is so infuriated that he grabs the parrot by the throat and throws him into the freezer. Well, the parrot starts swearing and thrashing about so loudly that the pastor is considering killing the bird. Just as he's thinking this, it gets very...very quiet.
At first the pastor just stares at the refrigerator, but then he starts to think that the parrot might be seriously injured. He becomes so worried that he runs over to the refrigerator and throws open the freezer door.
The parrot climbs out of the freezer, flaps the ice off his wings, and says, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I've caused you father. In the future, I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary."
The pastor is astounded. He can't believe the sudden transformation that has come over the parrot. Finally the parrot turns to the pastor and says, "Um....by the way, what did the chicken do?"

Well, we have some common ground between us and the neighbor...you're welcome to that, but if you're cookin', you're more than welcome on my deck. :woohoo:

Seems there is always some serious chow going on at your house. Have you thought about moving to Ga.? There's property for sale right up the road. Haha.
