Cajun-spiced chicken breasts stuffed with bell peppers, mushrooms, onions and melted zesty pepper-jack cheese. This easy dinner is bursting with flavor! Serve plain, with rice, or over buttered pasta.
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms, bell pepper, and onions for 5 minutes, until par-cooked.
Use a meat tenderizer to pound out the chicken breasts until about 1/4-inch thick, or if you are using thicker cut chicken breasts, butterfly them open.
Place a large spoonful of mushroom and bell pepper mixture on your chicken. Finish off with a large pinch of cheese.
Carefully fold the chicken so stuffing is completely inside. Secure the chicken with toothpicks. Place in a lightly greased baking dish. Season generously with cajun seasoning. Place a tablespoon of butter on top of each chicken breast.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is cooked through, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove toothpicks before serving. You can serve the chicken whole, or slice in half, or in 1-inch slices.
