Hasselback Stuffed Chicken Breasts because Patti loves, loves chicken and wanted to do a recipe that is mild in spiciness, but full of flavor. These were easy to put together the morning before Church or even the night before. These make a real treat to make for camping and/or tailgating, with that “Kiss of Smoke”.
Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Cooking Directions: Hasselback Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Pre-heat Grill Grates to 400* (205c) and light your Wedgie for that “Kiss of Smoke”Carefully cut slits into each breast being careful not to go all the way through. I placed 2 wooden spoons as a guide for my knife so all my cuts were the same size and I can’t cut it too deep.
Oil chicken with your Butcher’s BBQ Grilling Oil
Place ham and cheese into each slit.
Sprinkle generously with Chef of the Future Seasoning.
Place each breast on cast iron fajita skillet or griddle for the grill.
Then, onto the HOT Grill Grates at 400* (205c) for about 20 minutes.
When the meat chicken an internal temperature around 165* (74c) pull it off, cover it and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. U.S.D.A. safe for chicken is 165* (74c). Keep in mind that the chicken will continue cooking for another 5 to 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.
Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also, you are only smoking at temps less than 250* (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke, so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.
The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….
Live your Passion and Do What You Love, Ken & Patti
