Instructions 

  • Prepare the boneless chicken by first carefully butterflying each chicken breast with a sharp knife and then by pounding it flat with a meat mallet.
  • Place the flattened chicken breast pieces on a large cookie or baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Sprinkle both sides of each breast piece generously with the Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and ground Black Pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  • In a small bowl mix the softened cream cheese, drained green chiles, and the shredded cheeses. Mix well to combine.
  • Gently fold the pickled jalapeno pepper slices into the mixture.
  • Remove the tray of chicken from the refrigerator and unwrap.
  • Mound the filling in the center of each butterflied chicken breast, dividing it evenly between the four chicken breasts. Spread the filling evenly over each breast with a spoon. Fold one side of each breast over the filling.
  • Secure the cut edge of each breast with a couple of toothpicks or a wooden skewer that has been soaked in water for about 10 minutes.
  • Place the filled chicken breasts on a clean baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Grilling the chicken on a charcoal grill. Prepare your grill as usual. Once the coal is medium hot cook the chicken until completely cooked. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer.
  • Once the chicken is done brush with Stubb’s® Bar-B-Que Sauce and cook each side 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and place on a clean baking sheet or serving platter.
  • Immediately remove the toothpicks from each piece of chicken.
  • Serve with a pasta salad and grilled corn on the cob.
  • Makes 4 servings.
