Recipe Information
Ingredients:
1/2 lbs. Fresh Dungeness Crab
1 package of thin sliced bacon of your choice
2 Thick boneless Chicken Breasts
2 Slices chopped Bacon
2 sliced green onion
1/2 chopped garlic clove
1 bottle Zesty Italian dressing
Real Butter
Take 2 thick boneless chicken
breasts, wash and cut off any
fat. Using a sharp knife, cut a
1" to 2 " cut in the side of the
chicken breasts. In a sawing
motion, carefully open up a
inner pocket the length of the
breasts.
Carefully stuff the chicken
breasts with the crab mix. Try
to avoid tearing the chicken.
Once stuffed, place in a Ziploc
bag and pour a cup of Zesty
Italian dressing over the
chicken. Shake and refrigerate
for at least 1hour preferably
over night.
Remove from refrigerator and
Ziploc bag. Tightly wrap chicken
breast with thin sliced bacon
and let stand until near room
temperature. Preheat
smoker/cooker to 225. I
recommend a 50%/50% mix of
Hickory and Apple wood pellets
or chunks.
Place chicken breasts on grill.
Traeger grills, put on smoke for
the first 30 minutes then 280 to
300 degrees. Mist the chicken
with apple juice a couple times
during cooking duration. When
the chicken reaches 40 degrees
put your beans (sprinkled with
brown sugar) on the grill and
start baking corn bread. Chicken
will be done when the thickest
part is at 165 degrees.
Serve with smoked beans and corn
bread with butter and honey.
