Thanks to Greg for this idea . . .
I took some boneless, skinless breasts and brined them for a couple of hours, then seasoned them for the grill. Grilled them top side down until they were a little less than halfway done. Then I pulled them off the grill and added the squash to get nice grill marks on both sides. While doing that, I cut a nice big pocket into each one. I stuffed them a half slice each of Swiss Cheese and Black Forest Ham.
When I pulled the squash off (more about them later) I put the chicken back on, the time bottom side down and cooked them to about 150º IT and I covered them each with a full slice of Swiss & Black Forest. After the cheese had a chance to melt a little, I flipped them one last time to get some grill marks on the ham.
Oh, and what happened to squash ? ? ? Well I also made some Hasselback Potatoes. When they were finished and the oven switched off, I popped the squash in the oven to warm back up while the I was finishing the chicken.

Those look delicious, vegetables and all!
Looks really good Bill and so creative! Did you happen to make any Malibu sauce for the chicken? Also I agree with Brenda, the veggies look equally awesome....
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers

Yes, I made some up. The recipe I found called for mayo, Dijon, Yellow, and honey. I went lighter on the mayo because no one in my family are mayo fans. We liked it. It was definitely a good accent to the chicken. There was some crunch left in the squash and the Hasselbacks were a real hit.
Thanks ! ! !

Sounds good! I'm looking forward to experimenting with this a bit further now that the weather is a bit nicer. Again, thanks so much for sharing - got my foodie juices flowing. ; )
Not much color on that chicken, it looks raw.

I thought that at first until I looked really close at the photos. The chicken I believe is covered with Black Forrest Ham slices.
My bad, I should have read the write-up before jumping to conclusions.

Yes, I am very careful about making sure that chicken gets up to 165º IT.
