Equipment

Ingredients

4 oz mushrooms sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp butter softened
2 tsp rosemary crushed
2 tsp garlic minced
2 oz colby jack cheese shredded

OPTIONAL:

4 slices bacon

Instructions

Prepare Traeger and set temperature to 225ºF
In a skillet, over medium heat, heat olive oil. Once oil is hot, add mushrooms and saute for 3-4 minutes until caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
4 oz mushrooms, 1 tbsp olive oil
Using a boning knife, on the thick end of the chicken breast, slice a 1-2” pocket.
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Do not slice open the chicken breast. Using boning knife, create a pocket about 2/3 of the way into the chicken breast. Carefully slice the opening back and forth to make room for fillings.
In a bowl, mix together softened butter, rosemary, garlic and cheese.
2 tbsp butter, 2 tsp rosemary, 2 tsp garlic, 2 oz colby jack cheese
Using fingers, spoon butter mixture into chicken pocket and rub around pocket. Then stuff 1/2 mushrooms inside each chicken breast pocket.
If you hold the chicken breast up and push on the pocket, the filling will go down further into the pocket.
OPTIONAL: Tightly wrap chicken breast in bacon slices. Each chicken breast needs two slices of bacon.
4 slices bacon
Place chicken breast on grill grates and close lid.
Smoke at 225ºF for 120 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken is 150-155ºF. Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes and it will come up to 160º internal temperature.
