½ stick butter, softened
½ clove minced garlic
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried basil
⅛ teaspoon coarse salt

⅓ pound thick-cut bacon
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

Time 1h6m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 spears asparagus
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
4 extra-thick bacon slices
kitchen string
2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 jalapeno peppers - stemmed, seeded, and minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups warm milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
  • Trim asparagus spears to extend 1 inch past each side of the thighs.
  • Place 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese into a bowl.
  • Lay chicken thighs flat on a work surface. Place 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese on each thigh, followed by 3 asparagus spears. Roll thigh around stuffing; wrap 1 bacon slice around each thigh. Tie a 12-inch length of string around the bacon, ensuring bacon ends are secured. Place stuffed thighs in the lined pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; add jalapenos. Cook, stirring regularly, until juices have evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining butter, melt completely, about 1 minute. Stir in flour until it starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in warm milk, 1/3 cup at a time, mixing completely after each addition.
  • Bring milk mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 7 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Add remaining mozzarella cheese, stir gently to incorporate into sauce.
  • Cut strings from thighs and smother with sauce.

STUFFED & GRILLED BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN THIGHS



Stuffed & Grilled Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs image

My husband and I were away in a cabin and stopped in a winery while out and about. The host had recommended a nice chardonnay in answer to my inquiry what to serve with bacon wrapped grilled chicken. But then he recommended stuffing them before wrapping rather than marinating. This is what I came up with. I thought my husband had died and gone to heaven the way he was moaning about the taste. He loved it.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 button mushrooms, chopped fine
1 shallot, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 tablespoon butter
4 chicken thighs (large)
12 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Prepare your charcoal for the grill (I'm sure this is good on gas too but the charcoal grilling was out of this world). Spray a 12x12 or so piece of heavy duty foil with cooking spray. When coals are ready, place a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil directly on the grill directly over the hot area.
  • Saute the mushrooms, shallots, garlic in the butter over medium heat until soft. Remove from the pan to a plate to cool at least 10 minutes.
  • (If you were trying to do the whole thing on the grill, I'm sure you could cook this mixture on a piece of foil also).
  • Run your finger up under the skin of each thigh to make a pocket. Divide the mushroom mixture into fourths and stuff each thigh with 1/4 of the mixture. This takes some patience, but starting at one end of the thigh, wrap 3 pieces of bacon to secure the mushroom mixture inside and try to wrap each piece of chicken in the bacon.
  • You can secure with toothpicks, but I didn't and it was fine. I just had to be careful when turning them over.
  • Grill on the foil, turning every 10 minutes. Fat will accumulate on the foil, allow this to happen for the first 30 minutes of grilling.
  • After 30 minutes, punch holes in the foil or remove it completely and allow the chicken skin side to have 10 minutes of direct grill contact.
  • Serve hot and crispy.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
16 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat grill according to manufacturer`s instructions for cooking by direct and indirect heat. If using charcoal grill, place coals on one side of grill, not covering entire charcoal bed. Thighs will be cooked over direct heat first and finally by indirect heat, opposite the heat source.
  • Rinse thighs, pat dry and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place maple syrup in shallow dish. Add mustard and yogurt and stir to combine. Dip thighs in syrup mixture, lightly roll up and wrap each with two strips of bacon to enclose. Secure with wooden toothpicks, if necessary. If bacon strips are long, one strip per thigh may be sufficient.
  • Lightly coat grill with oil or cooking spray. Place thighs on preheated grill 4 to 6-inches above direct heat and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Move thighs to indirect heat side of grill and continue to cook with lid closed, about 10 to 12 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning. Test thighs for doneness. Temperature should reach 160 degrees F. on meat thermometer. Return to direct heat to crisp bacon, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and place on serving platter. Remove toothpicks and serve.
