I finally got in a cook and it turned out PDG.

I laid out a slice of ham and a slice of provolone cheese and slathered them with pesto sauce, rolled everything up and stuffed and tied chicken breasts.

Here is the prep and the finished breasts, ready for the grill. They were rubbed with Uncle Henry's, Raspberry Chipotle Rub.

I cooked these direct at 350, with some mulberry wood for flavor. It took about 45 minutes.

Here we are plated with some potatoes and a nice salad.

    Thanks for the comments!

    I bought the mullberry in St Louis, when I was visiting a friend. This is the first time I have used it and I thought it was pretty good. It it hard to describe a flavor, but I think this was a lot like cherry.

    It is good, and I will pick up some more, if I get a chance, but with apple, cherry, and pecan available, I am not going to worry about it.

    I agree about using Uncle Henry's, Raspberry Chipotle on duck breasts -- I did it a couple of weeks ago and it was great.

    Last time I cooked them, I did something new -

    I made some cashew butter, spread it on flour tortillas, added some fig jam, thin slices of fennel and red onion and then topped with sliced duck breast. It was great.

    Cashew Butter: Put roasted cashews in a food processor and grind very smooth. While the blade is running, slowly drizzle in a small amount of oil and watch as it comes together as a paste.

    Was the chicken moist, 45 minutes seems like a long time, but maybe I am wrong. Looks delicious!

    Thanks for all the comments folks.

    The chicken was nice and moist. The 45 minutes was just a function of the dome temp and the raised grate.

    I have cooked them longer and at lower temps and they come out great too.

    For this, I would probably shoot for 400 next time, just to make it a little faster.
