Grilled Chicken Cordon Black & Bleu

Difficulty level:

Intermediate

This Chicken Cordon Bleu favorite is normally oven-baked golden brown, but we’re charcoal fanatics, and there’s no way we’re not putting smoke (or bacon!) on this baby. The Hasty Bake Hastings 290 crisps up the bacon while delivering a juicy, cheesy explosion of flavor. This is a great way to spice up dinner time without adding too much extra work!

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts
Dijon mustard
Spiceology Black and Bleu seasoning
Thin-cut Bacon
Swiss or Mozzarella Cheese
10 slices Black Forest Ham
Cattle Call seasoning

Instructions

Slice chicken breast 90% of the way thru and place in plastic bag. Use a meat mallet to pound chicken out to about ¼” thick consistently.
Remove chicken and coat one side with mustard.
Place ham slices on top of chicken. Place cheese onto ham. Roll chicken up with all ingredients inside.
Season chicken with spiceology Black and bleu seasoning.
Wrap bacon slices around chicken breast. Lightly season bacon with Cattle Call.
Optional: skewer both breasts with skewers to make easier to move on grill. Or use toothpicks to hold bacon in place.
Smoke on grill at 275 degrees until internal chicken temperature is 165 degrees. If temp is nearing finish and bacon isn’t crispy yet, place directly over coals and rotate frequently until it crisps up.
Remove and let rest 10 minutes.
Slice, serve and enjoy!!
