Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings per Recipe: 2 stuffed chicken breasts

Ingredients:

Chicken:

2 Signature Farms® boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 pinch kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning chicken pre-grilling

1 pinch ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning chicken pre-grilling

2 Tbs olive oil, plus added oil for brushing chicken pre-grilling

butcher’s twine (for tying rolled chicken)

Hickory Bacon Compound Butter:
Ingredients:

4 Tbs unsalted butter softened to room temperature

3 slices Signature Farms® hickory bacon, cooked, cooled and minced

1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms

2 Tbs minced shallots

2 Tbs olive oil

1 pinch kosher salt

1 pinch ground black pepper

Directions

1. To prepare hickory bacon compound butter, combine the cooked, minced bacon and the unsalted butter together, mix well and chill.

2. Heat a medium-size sauté pan, add oil, shallots, and mushrooms, then season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes, then set aside and allow to cool.

3. Butterfly chicken breast, opening it up into 2-3 folds. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Divide butter between the butterflied breast, then add sautéed mushrooms. Fold and tie with butcher’s twine.

5. Brush roll-tied chicken breast with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.

6. Heat grill to medium-high and spray grates with non-stick spray (or brush with oil).

7. Place stuffed chicken breast on hot grill. Grill for 1 ½ minutes, pick up and turn 90 degrees to create grill cross marks. Grill chicken breast for another 1 ½ minutes, turn over and then cover grill. Cook covered for an additional 10-12 minutes.

Pro Tip: If the twine is becoming charred, place chicken breast on a sheet of aluminum foil and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 165°.

8. Remove from grill and allow to rest 4-5 minutes, remove twine and serve.
