Want to try making stuffed chicken breasts? I have a simple yet delicious recipe that will ensure you end up with super succulent chicken each and every time. This is a winner for a cookout or just a quick weeknight dinner.
Equipment
- 1 Pellet smoker
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts
- Spinach
- Danish Feta
- Garlic cloves
- Bbq rub
- Butcher's twine or toothpicks
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Veggies
- Cook spinach in a frying pan until wilted.
- Add minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Set aside and cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Stuffing
- In a bowl, combine the Danish feta with spinach and mix. (Use a soft feta like Danish for more of a creamier texture).
Step 3: Stuff the Chicken
- Cut a pocket into the thickest part of the chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Insert a spoonful of the filling into the pocket of the chicken. Some filling may overspill but try to keep it all in.
- Secure the breast with butcher's twine or toothpicks.
- Apply your BBQ rub all over the stuffed chicken breasts.
Step 4: Cook the Chicken
- Smoke at 225°F until internal temperature hits 165°F. It will probably take 3-4 hours, depending on the size of the breasts.
- Measure the temperature at the thickest portion of the breast to ensure that it is 165°F.
- Let cool for a few minutes and serve.
