Make Cajun......The Spice of Life?

It's fun to experiment with all kinds of different flavors and recipes. The great thing about trying something new is that you can and will adapt the recipe to suit you and your families tastes....for instance, Cajun.  The first time I had something blackened and Cajun, I totally did not enjoy it at all.  But I always say, "Give it a second chance".  So I did and by doing so, now enjoy many different Cajun foods because I experimented and adapted the recipes....This is one such recipe.  Simple, direct and flavorful but I lowered the high heat level. Your challenge, if you accept it, is to try different recipes, adapt them to make them your own and add them to your growing recipe repertoire.

Cajun Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients

Serves 4

4 large chicken breasts

1 tablespoons olive oil

4 large white or cremini mushrooms, sliced

½ red bell pepper, diced

½ green bell pepper, diced

¼ white onion, diced

½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese

4 teaspoons cajun seasoning*

4 tablespoons butter

Directions

Use a meat tenderizer to pound out the chicken breasts until about ¼-inch thick.

Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms, bell pepper, and onions for 5 minutes, until par-cooked.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.

Place an ounce of cheese in the center of each chicken breast. Place a large spoonful of mushroom and bell pepper mixture on top. Finish off with more cheese.

Carefully roll up the chicken so stuffing is completely inside. Secure the chicken by tying off with butchers twine Place in the prepared pan. Season generously with cajun seasoning. Place a tablespoon of butter on top of each chicken breast.

Bake until chicken is cooked through, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove twine before serving. 

Serve the chicken whole,  sliced in half, or in 1-inch slices.

A delicious creamy risotto would be terrific accompaniment to this dish.
