Ruby Tuesday's Smokey Mountain Chicken



2 whole bone chicken breasts (with skin)
Vegetable or olive oil
Salt
Pinch dried thyme
Pinch dried summer savory
4 slices deli-sliced smoked ham
2 tablespoons hickory smoke barbecue sauce (Bullseye is good)
2 slices provolone cheese
1/2 medium tomato, chopped (1/4 cup)
1 green onion, chopped (2 tablespoons)

On the Side
French Fries
Rice


Prepare the barbecue or preheat the stovetop grill. Rub a little oil on the
chicken then sprinkle some salt, thyme, and savory on each chicken breast.

Grill the chicken on a hot, covered barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes per side,
starting with the skin side up. When you flip the chicken over with the skin
side down, wait a couple of minutes, then put the slices of ham on the
grill. This is just to heat up the ham; not scorch it.

When you think the chicken is about a minute away from being done, brush 1
tablespoon of barbecue sauce over the entire face-up surface of the chicken.

Stack 2 slices of ham on each breast, then lay a slice of provolone on top.

Grill the chicken until the cheese has melted, then remove the breasts from
the heat.

Serve each breast topped with 2 tablespoons of the tomatoes and a tablespoon of green onion. Serve immediately with a side of French-fried potatoes or rice if desired.
