• Meanwhile, mix the grits, chicken broth, water and butter in a disposable aluminum pan, or cast iron pan with a lid and stir well. Cover tightly, place on the grill and close the lid.
• After 15 minutes, remove the lid, stir in the cheese and re-cover. Put the grits back on the grill for 10 more minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
