Cheesy chicken goodness. You’ll love the combination of the great grilled flavor on the chicken and the smoothness of the cheese sauce. This grilled cheesy chicken is a simple, easy-to-put-together dish that will satisfy any appetite.
We had our grilled cheesy chicken over egg noodles, but you could serve it over rice, pasta… or just eat it all by itself! The cream cheese sauce is so good that it is perfect just over noodles as a side dish. Any good white melting cheese will work great in the sauce. Our favorites are Gruyere or Fontina. A combination of your favorites will also be excellent!
Get yourself a good set of grill tools for these corn pops and anything else you grill. You won’t regret the extra few bucks they cost over the cheap ones that you’re going to have to replace in a few years. I have had several sets of Weber tools for decades and have yet to replace a single one.
Also try my spice-brined grilled chicken breasts.
