My Lovely Bride wanted something big for dinner tonight, so the XC and I did stuffed chicken breasts and the grilled version of Hasselback potatoes....
the XC putting the potatoes together...

Potatoes on the grill. Red and white onion, garlic, red and green jalapenos, rosemary sprigs and salted butter. The set-up is 2 full chimneys of KB, behind the rails.

After 30 minutes we put the stuffed breasts on. Skin side down for 25 mins, then turned them to bone side down for 20 mins.

After 45 mins on the grill. The breasts are stuffed with equal parts of chorizo and gouda cheese with a little fresh rosemary. I used the skewers to keep the breasts closed so we didn't lose all the stuffing. The XC seasoned the outside with black truffle sea salt and cracked black pepper. I put a touch of shredded mozzarella on the potatoes right off the grill for a little more texture. Worked out great!

Thanks for looking!!! Slainte!
Looks excellent! You missed a shot of your drink.....
Now that's a cook! That XC of yours knows her way around flavors very well. So stoked that you include her in your cooks. I thought I read she wanted to be a chef. Having her practice knife skills and understanding heat management are key skills to develop. The first three weeks in culinary school for me were pretty much learning knife skills. Understanding the grill and how to manage that heat, will easily transfer to a pan. You guys have her on the right path, she already knows more than I did when I went into school. Her future is very bright if that's the path she chooses. Keep up the great work!
Lookin' good!
looks excellent, i have gotta try spuds like that.

LOL!! Damn....I knew I forgot something. South of the border inspired flavors required south of the border beer. Negro Modelo was the beverage of choice!

Thanks, Smoke! She does want to be a professional chef, like my grandfather was. Her imagination is unbelieveable and she isn't afraid to try anything. Her knife skills are coming along. She is still a tad timid with the knife but that will come around.
The best part for me is that she loves cooking with me. Thanks again for the kudos with the XC, we appreciate it!
Slainte!
Kilted that's awesome! Sometimes I wish I would have went to school to become a chef. Never too late to start, right?
Looks great. Never thought of doing my potatoes that way but surely looks like some I would like to try for sure. Amazing meal.
Can I ask what does XC mean?

The Weber Ninja is correct! She is our in house Exec. Chef, and quite frankly I think my food would be very boring without her!

Thanks, wyd! I saw these on a post BBQMiller put up back in July, I believe. They are super easy and excellent tasting.

Never to late! We have a dear friend of the family that is 6 years older than me and she went to cooking school at 40. Now she is 51 and a private chef making great money doing what she truly loves.

Thanks, I was trying to figure that out as well.
Great looking cook! I'm pondering the first cook on my new 26 and have yet to try potatoes like that. It's great to have grill space for a bunch of veggies
and a bunch of meat at the same time. ;D
Nice cook. Glad you liked the potatoes. I think the CI does a nice job of cooking them evenly. CI cookware and weber kettles were made for each other.
