First thing is to get those big breasts. The. Make a slit and open up a pocket for the goodies.

Then season with your favorite rub, and then fill the hole will crumpled up foil so as to keep the hole open. Put the breasts on the smoker at 300-325* for maybe 15-20 min to set the shape of the pocket in the chicken breast.

Then remove the foil and fill the pocket with roasted poblano pepper and sharp cheddar cheese. Mix with that one egg and and some rough chop garlic.

Wow! I'm really impressed! Great choice of filling and unlimited possibilities. I can see Ham and Gruyere for Cordon Bleu or Bacon and Pimento Cheese, right off. Filled with a Crab Cake stuffing! Oh Man, that would be amazing...JJ

Absolutely Chef JJ. This has endless possibilities. Go for it. I’m only putting the idea out there of what I have done. Your imagination can take this where ever.
 
Funny how we can get set in our ways. Ive made hundreds of stuffed Chicken Breasts. Butterflied, Side Pocket cut, Pounded, Rolled and Tied. But I have never seen this technique of yours! It is so creative and exciting. Thanks...JJ
 
Ok and something else has been added to my "gotta try" list. That is some good looking chicken. and the variety of stuff you can stuff it with is unlimited. Looks darn good.

That looks absolutely incredible!! Excellent, excellent job all around. Very creative way to gt the chicken to maintain it's form. I do stuffed pork chops once in a while and I just learned a new trick from you. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you JJ. Not often a common guy inspires a Chef with food, but I’m happy for it, and can’t wait to see you‘re creation.
