Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts if they are particularly thick, I like to butterfly them so they cook evenly and taste better
- 1 batch chicken brine
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces Italian blend cheese shredded
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Wide Egg Noodles cooked per package instructions
Instructions
- Brine the chicken per instructions.
- Fire up a grill for direct and indirect cooking.
- Sear the chicken over direct heat then move to indirect heat to continue cooking to 165 F. Remove from heat.
- Heat chicken stock in a medium saucepan. Do not boil.
- Reduce heat and slowly stir in the cream and mustard. Stir well and continue cooking until thick, about 5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and add in the cheese. Stir until melted.
- Serve chicken over noodles with cheese sauce on top.
Notes
I used an Italian blend, but mozzarella, Swiss, fontina, or any good melting cheese will work.
