Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 5 mins


• slice a small pocket into each chicken breast with a sharp knife. layer cheese slices, avocado slices, and sliced jalapeno inside the chicken pockets. pinch chicken breasts closed and secure with toothpicks or skewers; place chicken into a casserole dish.
• whisk olive oil, lime juice, mesquite seasoning, and salt together in a bowl; drizzle half of the mixture over chicken breasts. turn chicken breasts over and drizzle with remaining olive oil mixture; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• place chicken breasts on preheated grill and cook for 7 minutes; turn chicken over and brush with bbq sauce on the cooked side. continue grilling for about 5 minutes; turn chicken over and apply bbq sauce to the second cooked side. cook chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 minutes more. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees f (74 degrees c).
• serve each chicken breast on a kaiser roll.
