Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • ½ cup Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce

Brine

  • ¼ cup Butcher BBQ Bird Booster
  • 4 cups water

Filling

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 ounces Mozzarella shredded
  • 3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2-3 green onion stalks chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Instructions

  • Combine the brine ingredients and soak the chicken ingredients for at least 6 hours. Letting them soak overnight is best.
  • When you're ready to cook combine all of the filling ingredients in a small bowl and set off to the side.
  • Carefully cut into each of your chicken breasts and create a pocket for the filling.
  • Use a spoon and stuff each of the chicken breasts with about 2 tablespoons of the filling. Season the outside of each breast with salt and pepper, and place them in a cast iron skillet.
  • Setup your smoker to smoke at 150 degrees and place your cast iron skillet inside. Let the breasts smoke for 45 minutes and then adjust the temperature up to 300 degrees.
  • Pour some buffalo wing sauce on the outside of each breast and let the chicken continue to cook until the internal temp hits 170 degrees.
  • Let the breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Definitely make sure you don't skip the brine portion of this recipe. If you don't brine the breasts prior to cooking the end result will be a little dry.
