I have been wanting to take a shot at making a bacon weave, and when I saw this recipe, I knew it was time. Many thanks to @SixZeroFour for the sending me this recipe!
These are most of the ingredients for this recipe. 6 chicken breasts, which I pounded out flat, 3-Cups of cheddar cheese and the rub (rub recipe below), which I mixed up the night before.

Each piece of chicken was dredged through the rub and arranged on a piece of wax paper, to make it easier to handle.

I evenly layered the cheese.

After I somehow managed to roll this up, I tightly wrapped it in plastic wrap to chill, before wrapping in bacon.

Here is my first attempt at a bacon weave. This part was actually easy, compared to the wrestling match I had, getting it around the chicken roll.

I didn't do the best job with the bacon weave, but got it on the grill successfully! :o

My Patent Pending Brownie got the call for this cook. I used Weber briquettes on both sides of the bowl and my Thermoworks Smoke to monitor the temps.

It was done when I took the previous pic and this is how it looked, seconds later. I tried to keep it as close to 375* as I could. It took about 45-50 minutes for the chicken to reach 160*

I had good natural light and lucked out with this pic.

The rub has a bit of a kick, which I enjoyed. If I do this again, I think I'll substitute rosemary for the thyme. I sent two big sandwiches with my daughter to take to work and share with a co-worker, and I just ate it off the cutting board. This was a really fun cook to do, and I tried something new with the results being very tasty!
Rub Mix
3-Tbsp Paprika
3-Tbsp Brown Sugar
1-Tbsp Onion Powder
1-Tbsp Thyme
1-Tsp Cumin
¾-Tsp Cayenne
1-Tbsp Salt
1½ -Tsp Garlic Powder
