You gotta try this one! Its Grilled Chicken Breasts stuffed with Cheese and Green Chili-Cilantro sauce from Bobby Flay's Grilling for Life page 124. I started by chopping up poblano chilies, a red onion and two garlic cloves, then added lime juice, honey, olive oil, kosher salt and ground pepper into a processor. I added cilantro after the entire mixture was blended into a chucky sauce. I put the sauce aside and then went to work on the stuffing. It was mozzarella and feta cheese, with chopped black olives, roasted and chopped red peppers, thyme, and olive oil. When I was at the store, I found some thin sliced chicken breasts - about a 1/4 inche at their thickest point. The thin chicken slices were the base where I spooned on the stuffing. Then I rolled up the chicken with the stuffing inside, tieing it off with a wire. It looked like a chicken canoli! I grilled the rolled chicken first with direct heat to get the outside char and later with indirect heat to bake the chicken through. Once on the plate, I sliced it across the middle and spooned on the Poblano-Cilantro sauce. Yes it was spicy - but the lime juice and honey balanced the poblanos, onions and cilantro. Like I said, you gotta try this one!
What was on? Sugarland. The group that goes by the name Sugarland is Jennifer Nettles and some other guy. I am sure that "the other guy" is really good, but lets face it - this group is nowhere without Nettles. I am not a huge country music fan -even after growing up in Nashville, but I know what I like no matter what the label. Sugarland is good stuff and great in concert too. We saw them at last summer's CMA festival. Check then out at http://www.sugarlandmusic.com/
Try to figure out who the other guy is and ask yourself - did this guy make some kind of deal with the devil to be on the same stage with Jennifer Nettles?
