Buffalo Chicken & Bleu Cheese Onion Bombs
Gather Ingredients:
2 medium white, yellow or sweet onions
1 lb ground chicken breast
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup minced onion (taken from above onions)
1/4 cup minced celery
1 Tbsp Litehouse Foods Instantly Fresh Garlic
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco)
1 teaspoon salt
4 oz Litehouse Food’s Blue Cheese Center Cut
4 oz Litehouse Food’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing
Garnish: Celery ribs
Put It Together:
Cut onions in half lengthwise from top to bottom. Slice off attached ends. Carefully peel apart onion layers and set aside approximately 16 of the best-shaped halves.
Mince some of the leftover onion to get the 1/4 cup required for the meatballs.
In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, minced onion, minced celery, garlic, hot sauce and salt. Form into eight meatballs. Using your thumb, make an indention into the center of each.
Place approximately 1 teaspoon of blue cheese in the indention and then reform meat to enclose.
Wrap each meatball with two halves of onion layer. Halves don’t need to match perfectly, overlap if needed.
Wrap each meatball tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Cook over indirect heat (grill or campfire) at approximate temperature of 400 F degrees.
Cook foil-covered onion bombs for approximately 30 minutes, flipping once. To serve, unwrap each onion bomb from foil and drizzle with blue cheese dressing.
