Wood is Good, Part Deux

Stuffed Chicken Breasts from Walt's, grilled on oak planks. The asparagus was a last-minute idea, with nothing except a little non-stick, kosher salt, and lemon slices on top. Served aside some basmati rice with garlic and sun-dried tomatoes mixed in.  We'll do this one again!!

Those look awesome! Great job! Have to ask, what were they stuffed with?

Just a traditional stuffing, simple but very good. There was actually a layer of "stuffing" on the bottom of the hollowed-out breast. The lemons were a nice flavor addition.

It's the first time that I used oak wood for flavor, it was good, a milder smoke than mesquite or hickory.

Yeah oak is pretty mild. I am personally addicted to the fruit woods. Apple is the easiest to get. Fruit woods really do add a hint of sweetness to meat that I just love.
