Equipment
- Optional - Kitchen Twine/String
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
- ½ tablespoon granulated garlic
Buffalo Chicken Breast Stuffing
- ½ cup sharp cheddar
- 4 ounces room temperature cream cheese
- ¼ cup finely diced celery
- ¼ cup finely diced carrots
- ¼ cup Frank's RedHot hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
Finishing Sauce
- ½ cup Frank's RedHot hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Optional additions:
- ranch or blue cheese dressing, to drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare grill for two-zone grilling. Target 450 degrees F in the cooking chamber. In a medium-sized bowl combine cheddar cream cheese, celery, carrots, hot sauce, and celery salt. Mix.
- Stuff: Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal pocket on thicker side of the chicken breast, but don't cut all the way through the chicken. Stuff the breasts with the filling.
- Grill: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Place chicken over the direct side of the grill for 8 minutes or until you see good grill marks. Gently flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes until good grill marks then move to indirect heat.
- Continue cooking chicken breasts on indirect side until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from grill and let rest. While the chicken is resting the carry over cooking will raise the temperature to 165 degrees.
Finishing Sauce
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat combine the hot sauce and butter and stir until butter melted. *Do not let it boil or the ingredients will separate. Just slowly melt to combine, while mixing.
- Pour the sauce over the resting stuffed chicken breasts, slice, and serve. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Notes
Be sure you are using thicker chicken breasts for best results when stuffing.
Be sure to take the internal temperature of the grilled Buffalo Chicken and remove when it hits 160 degrees Fahrenheit, so it won't dry out.
Serve with mixed greens for a great dinner combination.
