Yardbird throwdown #4

[Rings Я Us]

I had to keep my yardbird entry on a small scale, for my own consumption.
Was done on the charcoal ECB smoke n grill. I knew I wanted to stay away from skin being a factor.. I didn't want to slop sauce over everything either.. so I decided on a Roulade. Butterflied chicken breast and pounded thin.. stuffed with some goodies and rolled with some bacon to keep it moist if possible.
I did smoke for 3 hours using applewood to match the bacon. 220 to 235 range for about 4 hours. They were pretty thick. I think 165 was passed up a tad.

I used feta, spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Added shredded parmesan.
The stuffing was moist.
Wrapped a couple up. And got those on .

Sweet potatoes got peeled. They were really yummy and sweet. I added lots of butter and a slash of milk i think..

Oh.. and some caramelized onions.. yum!

I made a sauce from my homemade chicken stock. I reduced that and had shallots and garlic going in another pan. I put the white wine in to deglaze the
Pan and combined the stock for a sauce. I added butter after i turned off the pan. Whisking that in..

Nice job, bet you wished you would have made like 5 or 6 of em

I do something very similar but I bake them. The only difference I see is that I only use feta and I don't always use bacon.  I never thought to smoke them.  I'll be trying it soon.

I went a bit over my target.. I was in the 175 range. I did foil tent and rest them. I got lucky and they really were good. I should have used more sauce on the plate for presentation. I almost used some fancy mushrooms in place of the sun dried tomatoes.. but I wanted some color.

That looksDELICIOUS!!! Man I'd eat that any day all day long.

I'll be trying this dish out soon--just have to figure out how to do some with dark meat for Miss Linda.
