Any ideas out there to spruce up boneless/skinless chicken breast? Still trying to fit in more healthy food from the smoker or grill. Should I even worry about brining them? I usually grill them from frozen.

Make pinwheels with peppers.

Cut into strips. Marinade in Italian dressing. Roll up with toothpick. Wrap in bacon. Grill. I like to add couple squirts of Worcestershire to the dressing.
 
Get 2 lemons
Zest,
then juice them
put it non-reactive container
add olive oil
Kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
rosemary
mix well
let sit for a few hours
Slap on grill
enjoy

I make this all time and my picky kids love it.
 
Brining is certainly worthwhile, if you tend to dry them out on the grill, or you have some one you are cooking for that wants "to be sure" they are fully cooked.

I use Italian or a Balsamic salad dressing for a marinade some, and teriyaki sauce works too.

For a change up, we will lay a slice of smoked cheese on top of the breasts to melt just as they are coming off the grill.
 
Ok, here is one to try.
Sorry about all the extra cooking instructions, but recipe was developed for all users, not just us fanitical wood burners.:mrgreen:

I have made lots of things with them. Basic preparations I do are brining to keep them moist, and then either smoking with a little oil or on a bed of aromatic veggies and herb, or grilling over hardwood coals at high temps. Both impart a smoky flavor and give a most tender product. How you want to flare it up from there you have many, many options.

Those photos above have me drooling.

Oh man Rick (or is it now turdking?) those looks so good. How about a couple of hints on how you did that...
 
How about fajitas? Give the chickie chests a nice relaxing bath in some mojo criollo or a fajita marinade and then grill along with some peppers and onions also marinaded in the mojo criollo.

You could also stuff them with lots of thing. Lay the breast flat and cut a pocket in it with a sharp knife and then add your favorite stuff. Then you can close the slit with toothpicks or butcher's twine or food loops and bake, grill, whatever...
 
Get thick boneless and skinless breasts. Slice em open with a paring knife and insert some cold cuts (I like prosciutto, capicola) with cheese (goat, provolone). Close them back up and be proud you've just negated the health benefits of skinless chicken breasts.
