Since we've moved one of my best friends has been my little 'ol charcoal grill. We didn't use it much at the other house because it wasn't convenient. Now we have a deck right off of the main living floor and it's super easy to get to! Over the summer, we've made it a habit to grill 4 or 5 nights a week. It's been wonderful! This chicken dish has been a staple. I prefer a charcoal grill over a gas grill because I think everything tastes better over a bed of coals, but use what you've got. This chicken is juicy and loaded with flavor!
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices of cheddar cheese (I buy the small blocks and just cut half an inch or so for each breast.)
4 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
salsa
Heat coals or gas grill to medium-high heat. Using a meat tenderizer, flatten each chicken breast into 1/4 inch thickness between sheets of plastic wrap. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Combine melted butter and garlic powder, set aside.
Place one slice of cheese in the center of each chicken breast. Roll the chicken around the cheese, folding in the sides. Secure with toothpicks. Place the chicken on the grill, seam side down, and brush with half of the garlic butter. Cover the grill and cook about 10 minutes. Flip chicken, brush with remaining garlic butter and grill an additional 5-10 minutes, until the juices of the chicken are no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the grill and top with salsa. Serve with rice and beans and a salad.
