Ive been meaning to make this style fattie for a while now so I made it a point to do so this weekend. Came out really good.
I starded with making the filling for this fattie.
6oz of Swiss diced
6oz ham diced
4oz of cream cheese
Mix it all up then wrap it up and into the fridge for a while
Next is the chicken. I normally would grind my own thighs but with the way things have been at the grocery lately I had to settle for pre ground. With the consistency of this stuff I knew it would be hard to work with so I decided to add some egg and breadcrumbs and give it more of a "meatloaf" like texture. I also add some seasoning to the mix.
Then into a gallon bag and into the freezer to firm up a bit
Out of the freezer and ready to wrap around the filling
It then went back into the freezer to keep it firm while I made the bacon weave. Once it was wrapped in the bacon I seasoned with some all purpose rub and onto the smoker at 225°
Now onto the side to go with it. Once again I was limited from the grocery stores pretty well cleaned out. Was going to do some kind of sweet potato but they were all gone. Grabbed a butternut squash and decided to cube it and roast in the oven.
Cubed up buternut squash
Then seasoned with olive oil, SPOG ,chilli powder and paprika.
Time to check on the fattie. Looking good so far!
3.5 hr later I pulled it off. When I load these up with a lot of cheese I give them a good rest before slicing.
And finally all sliced up!
Then onto the plate with the roasted butternut squash and a chopped salad.
Turned out real good. Ive always liked chicken cordon bleu and doing it fattie style made it even better! Thanks for taking a look!
