Creamy Cilantro Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Cheese Stuffed Grilled Chicken with Grilled Peaches

If I named this what it actually is, it would be Cheese Stuffed Grilled Chicken with Cilantro Peach Sauce and Bacon Wrapped Peaches. SO, I went with safe and named it the condensed version. 

Y’all, this is amazing. 

Creamy Cilantro Cheese Stuffed Chicken

I can’t get through to you via words how delicious and flavor packed this is. If I could moan over a blog post for you to get it, I would.

My favorite part is the cilantro sauce; I could drink it. It’s cilantro, sour cream, fresh peaches, a little lemon juice and a bit of Worcestershire. It’s off the chain.

And these bacon wrapped peaches…

 

Bacon Wrapped Peaches

This dish is summery, bright, fresh and hearty all at the same time. The best of both worlds, if you will.I stuffed the chicken with Cabot’s Vermont Extra Sharp Cracker Cuts .

It ended up being so perfect for this because it’s a sturdy cheese that doesn’t ooze out during grilling.

You don’t need a salad, or bread or anything else with this. Seriously, this dish holds its own like a damn champ. The sauce is perfect for both the chicken and the peaches, if you’re like me and get those all-in-one bites.

I’m not afraid of all in one’s; even if some of the things on my plate wouldn’t exactly go together from a taste perspective.

I don’t give one damn.

Some people are so weird about that – they have to separate all of their food to the point that nothing touches. *SMH*…
