Smoked Pepper & Onion Stuffed Chicken Recipe
Smoked with sassafras wood, marinated with lemon and honey, and stuffed with peppers and green onions. Delicious!
Ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Marinade
- 1 1/2 cups lemon juice concentrate
- 1/2 cup honey
- Stuffing
- red pepper
- green pepper
- green onion
Directions
- In a microwave safe bowl, mix the frozen lime-aid and the honey together. Microwave on high long enough to thin out the honey and melt the lime-aid concentrate to mix the two together. About 20 seconds. (Note: This shouldn't get it too hot to make it unsafe to mix with the chicken.)
- Clean and rinse your chicken breasts. Cut a pocket into the chicken breast being careful not to cut through the sides, but deep enough to allow for maximum stuffing. (Note: Try to keep all the meat close to the same thickness.)
- Combine the meat with the marinade and store in the refrigerator for about 8 hours. (Or overnight)
- After meat is marinated, chop equal amounts of the red and green peppers and onions into very small pieces. Combine together and stuff the chicken breasts. Use toothpicks to keep the breasts closed. (Or you can use butcher string to tie it closed!)
- Prepare your smoker and bring the smoker temperature up to 250° F. Once the temperature regulates, place the stuffed chicken breasts on the smoker. This should take approximately 90 minutes to cook to a tender perfection.
- Note: The internal temperature of the meat should be about 165° F to be done, but this is very difficult to get accurate readings with the thinner meat and the stuffing involved. Best to go by sight.
