Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 11-inch by 7-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine milk and broth in a medium heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Gradually add grits and salt to pan, stirring constantly with a whisk.
- Cook for 5 minutes, or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in Cheddar, butter, and cream cheese until smooth.

- Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until set.
- Just before serving, drizzle with barbecue sauce and garnish with green onions.
Notes
- Adapted from MyRecipes.com
- Use rotisserie chicken to speed things up or alternatively use up leftover chicken you have in your fridge.
- If you have raw chicken make sure to cook it first.
- Feel free to use low-fat cheddar to reduce calories.
- Make sure to use quick-cook grits for this recipe.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheated until piping hot. As grits absorb liquid you will probably need to add a little extra liquid when reheating (stock, water or milk).
