Gorgonzola Grilled Chicken

I decided since my husband was outside doing yard work and Cooper was playing in the dirt and watering flowers that I should learn to BBQ. I love this easy recipe and really wanted to grill the chicken as we have been in a heat wave lately that starting the oven was last on my ‘to do’ list.

I grilled two chicken breasts and three jalapeño sausages. This was a great way to learn how to grill. I got the chicken extremely moist and was so proud of myself. Cooper at chicken and sausage which made the night even better.

I have been making this recipe for years and have really enjoyed how refreshing it is but this was the first time I have made it will grilled chicken and to be honest, this was probably the best way. :)

Ingredients:

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 large tomato
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 1- 8oz container of gorgonzola cheese crumbles
  • EVOO

Grill the chicken and while the chicken is cooking chop onion

BLTA Hot Dogs

As you’ve learned by all my hot dog recipes, I love to try new things with them. Basically I took all the ingredients I LOVE and compiled them together to make this incredible meal.

Who doesn’t love BACON, LETTUCE, TOMATO, AVOCADO, AND HOT DOGS!?!?!?!?!?!

This meal was so incredible my husband was actually shocked by the look of it. He couldn’t believe he was about to eat hot dogs and bacon together in this delicious tortilla wrap!

Mix together and set aside.

BLTA Dogs:

  • 4-6 polish dogs
  • 4-6 tortillas
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • a avocado, sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 4-6 slices of bacon
  • Shredded cheese for topping (optional)

Meanwhile, slice hot dogs lengthwise and broil 2 minutes and flip. Broil another 2 minutes.

After the hot dogs are broiled, broil bacon until fully cooked to your desired crispness.

Place a tortilla on a broiling pan with cheese (add bacon if it was previously made and now cold; this helps it heat up)

I broiled it for 2 minutes until nice and crispy.

Add toppings: tomato, spinach (lettuce), avocado, and sauce mixture.

Fold up and eat! Can be messy but you wont complain once you bite into it!

For less crispy, you can roll up like a burrito, but I like the added crunch. If making for lunch for your wonderful husbands the following day to take to work with them, the less crispy way is easier to send them with.

MMMM enjoy!
