Chicken "Bacon" Bleu on the Summit

[bamakettles]

Easy weeknight version of one of our favorites - Chicken Cordon Bleu grilled on the Summit.  I started with boneless/skinless chicken thighs sprayed with olive oil and seasoned with Blues Hog High Flyin' Chicken seasoning.  Grilled and topped with bacon strips (no ham in the house) and swiss cheese with a quick melt in the oven.  I made "Malibu" sauce with mayo and mustard that I've enjoyed since my sizzler days in the 80s.  Baked potato for me and a sweet potato for Kellee, both cooked on the Summit indirect at 500F for about an hour.  English peas rounded out the meal.

Cheers!

Looks good! Love chicken thighs. Just did some last Saturday. Nice twist on Cordon Bleu.

Thanks Anthony, we've done this (ham version) with butterflied chicken breasts as well, but the thighs are much more flavorful and we like the size - mostly so I can have two! 

Thinking seafood tonight, supposed to be nice out again.  We've had so much rain lately...

We have had some nice weather here as well. But, it's too warm this early in the year for Iowa. Supposed to be over 90 today. We are in need of rain so you can send some of yours up this way. Going to cool down over the weekend so will be nice for grandson #3 graduation on Sunday.

Congratulations on the graduation!  I'll gladly send rain your way.  I have GOT to paint my deck and need some dryness to do it before vacation season begins.

Love those thighs, too, and I'll sub in bacon for ham anytime ! !

Never heard of the Malibu Sauce.  In looking it up, what I found was Malibu Chicken, which I had not herd of before either.  But, after looking at a few versions, I it now on my list of things to do.

Thanks, again ! ! !

That all looks delicious!

You and Kellee could hang with me! Everyone in my family goes green around the gills when I try
to serve green peas.   
I love peas (especially with mashed potatoes) but only have them if no one else is around.

Thanks!  There are quite a few versions of Malibu sauce online, but when I worked at Sizzler many many years ago it was a mix of mayo and yellow mustard - nothing else.  That's the way I like it - have never really measured, always mix by taste starting with a few large tablespoons of mayo and then add mustard until I like the color and taste.  It's so simple yet so good on chicken.

Thanks Brenda!  Kellee always makes sure we have a "green" or whatever veggies we have.  I do like green peas, blackeye peas, field peas with snaps and of course fresh snapped green beans.  Pair all this with a slice of vidalia onion, sliced tomato and a hot cayenne pepper from the garden and I'm very happy!
