GRILLED BARBECUE BACON-CHEDDAR STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Prepare the chicken: With your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally without cutting all the way through; open like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and pound until 1/2 inch thick.
• Make the filling: Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp; crumble. Mix 2 tablespoons bacon drippings with the melted butter in a bowl. Combine the buttermilk biscuit, bacon, half of the drippings mixture, the cheese, chives and parsley in a separate bowl. Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper.
• Season the pounded chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with the remaining drippings mixture. Spoon the filling over the top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Roll up the chicken toward the pointy end; tie with 3 pieces of kitchen twine.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken breasts, turning, until cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes, brushing with the barbecue sauce during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then remove the twine and slice.
