Unholy Chicken

Filed Under: Grilling & Smoking, Recipes
Tags:

Cheese, chicken, peppers, bacon. All together in one gloriously unholy combination. Did you hear that sound? Pfizer just made money on me.

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4-5 slices of bacon, raw
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, minced

Either butterfly the chicken breasts or pound them flat between two pieces of plastic wrap. Marinate them overnight in the marinade of your choice. For this recipe, bold and savory marinades work the best.

In a small skillet, saute the onion, pepper, and garlic until soft. Set aside to cool.

load each chicken breast with half the onion, pepper, and cheese, being careful not overfill. Roll up the chicken and wrap a couple of slices of bacon around it. Secure with toothpicks. This process is messy, but worth it.

Grill over medium-low heat, turning often until done. Be warned, this may cause flare-ups and burnt cheese. You must tend the grill constantly for this, else you'll be sorry.

I cooked unholy chicken again last night using my Cobb with indirect heat. Pushing it, after the grill had heated up i added some apple chips, put on the chicken rolls and left it for 15 minutes. When i came back i turned over and added more chips. Twenty minutes later i took off. At point there was some melted cheese on the grill but it had not burnt. The next morning when i went to clean the grill (Cobbs can go in the dishwasher) i found the cheese had burned eventually and the water in the moat had quite a bit of bacon grease in it.

My wife says i should start experimenting with other kinds of cheese. This is such a wonderful dish it definitely worth experimenting with.

Still playing. Read the original recipe from the Man in the Apron first.

I've done it two times more, both with blue cheese. I've played with quantities of it all and have come up with this:

1 jalapeƱo, cut, cleaned, etc.
3/4 cup chopped white onion
4 cloves of garlic
2 oz. blue cheese (that is about half a cup).

marinade
used organic chicken spice mix from costco (dk brand) and some southern Italian poultry spice somebody gave me. put it in a little sauce pan with a 50/50 mix of costco balsamic and trader joe's sirah wine. Brought it to a boil and put it aside

Chicken
Thin sliced boneless breasts (already been butterflied).

Bacon
Think cut - three pieces per chicken.

Prepare the veggies crudely and then put 'em in the food processor and pulse.

Pre-cook the bacon. i'd say about half cooked if you were making bacon and eggs. They need to be limp.

Saute the veggies in the bacon grease after removing the bacon -- saves washing a pan and preserves the evil.

Let the veggie pan cool a bit and then crumble in the blue cheese. Blue cheese is soft and will soften more in the pan. Mix it up.

Coat one side of the chicken breasts with your mixture, roll 'em up in your partially cook bacon and pin
'em with toothpicks.

Cook with indirect heat with charcoal briquettes. Use water soaked mesquite chips for smoke. This is a strong tasting dish and, unlike most chicken dishes, it can stand up to the strong taste of mesquite.

This dish could get you laid.
