Cajun Stuffed Chicken
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper diced, seeds removed
- 1 red bell pepper diced, seeds removed
- 1 cup red onion diced
- 3 Tb butter
- 8 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 2 ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 c cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 350°(F).
- Sauté the diced peppers and onion with the butter in a 12 inch cast iron skillet. (Or other similarly sized, oven safe pan. Cook them until tender.
- When the peppers and onion are tender, spread them out on a plate to cool quickly so that you will be able to handle them, and also use the skillet.
- While the peppers and onion are sautéing, use a filet knife or sharp pairing knife to cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Refer to the video in the post to see how I do that.
- Stuff some of the sauteed peppers and onion mixture into a pocket in a chicken breast, and place it in the skillet. Repeat with all of the chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the Cajun seasoninng, and any remaining peppers & onion.
- Spread the shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken tests done with a meat thermometer - 165°(F).
- Enjoy!
