Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat broiler. Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; place chicken on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan.
  2. Broil chicken 5 inches from heat 5 minutes. Turn chicken, and spoon 3 Tbsp. pimiento cheese over each chicken breast, spreading to edges. Broil 5 more minutes or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  3. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in grits. Cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and stir in butter. Serve with chicken.
  4. Shopping Note: Find the best quality pimiento cheese in the deli section of your supermarket where it's available by weight or in prepackaged tubs. It has more Cheddar cheese and less processed cheese than many lower priced varieties.
