Essential Tools
Instant-read thermometer

Ingredients
- 1 tsp canola oil
- ½ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup diced celery
- 1 large egg
- 4 cups crumbled cornbread
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp Pit Happens
- 1½ tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 4 (7- to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Directions
- In small skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook 8 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally; let cool. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg; stir in cornbread, water, 2 teaspoons Pit Happens BBQ Rub and rosemary.
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill on high heat (375°F) for 15 minutes.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally in half, but do not cut all the way through. Open the chicken breasts and spread flat, cut side up. Place about ½ cup stuffing mixture in the center of each opened chicken breast. Fold the chicken breasts to enclose the stuffing.
- Evenly sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Pit Happens BBQ Rub.
- Reduce grill heat to medium (325°F). Apply oil to a clean kitchen towel and use tongs to coat the hot grill grate with oil. Use a spatula to place the chicken on the hot grill grate. Cook the chicken, covered, 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the stuffing and chicken reaches 165°F, turning once halfway through cooking.
