INGREDIENTS
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup red and green bell pepper, diced
1 cup medium onion, diced
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar
Kosher salt
How to make Cajun Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.
Step 2: Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and peppers to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then take the skillet off the heat. Allow the onions and peppers to cool for a little.
Step 3: Make a pocket in each chicken breast using a sharp paring knife. Fill each pocket with the vegetable mixture, then top with cheddar. Season the entire chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Place the chicken in the same skillet. Pop in the preheated oven and bake the stuffed chicken for approximately 25 minutes or until completely cooked.
