Smoked Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken
This Smoked Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken recipe turns a boring chicken dinner into something spectacular!
The smoky flavor from the Traeger pellet grill or smoker is amazing, but what really steals the show is the creamy, cheesy filling.
You can use a store bought spinach and artichoke dip, or make this Smoked Spinach and Artichoke Dip and save some leftovers for this chicken recipe.
How to make Smoked Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken
Start with two large chicken breasts.
Butterfly them, which basically means to slice them almost all the way through, lengthwise.
Then stuff each with the spinach and artichoke dip, which works best if the dip is cold.
Just about 1 1/2 cups of the dip should fit perfectly for two large chicken breasts.
Fold the chicken closed and season all sides with kosher salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning.
Next stop is the Traeger pellet grill or smoker!
Set it to 225 degrees and put the stuffed chicken right on the grill grates.
Cook time will largely depend on the size of the chicken.
About 1 1/2 hours total, but monitor the internal temperature and remove them once it’s above 165 degrees.
Smoked Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken is sure to be a new favorite!
The dream bite for me had the perfect ratio of chicken to cheesy dip goodness.
