Cajun Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by LDenvir

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients:
Serves 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded (you can use up to 6 oz)
1 c frozen spinach, thawed and drained (you can also use fresh cooked spinach)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning - click here for my homemade Cajun spice recipe
1 tbsp breadcrumbs (I use Italian style)
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Lots of toothpicks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Flatten the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. In a medium bowl, combine the pepper jack cheese, spinach, salt and pepper. Combine the Cajun seasoning and breadcrumbs together in a small bowl. Spoon about 1/4 c of the spinach mixture onto each chicken breast. Roll each chicken breast tightly and fasten the seams with several toothpicks. I typically use about 8 toothpicks in each roll to ensure none of the filling seeps out. Be sure to count how many total toothpicks were used. Brush each chicken breast with the olive oil. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning mixture evenly over all. Sprinkle any remaining spinach and cheese on top of chicken (optional). Place the chicken seam-side down onto a tin foil-lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Count to make sure you have removed every last toothpick.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the stuffing was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the stuffing and it was much better.

The chicken was a little dry, but the stuffing was amazing. I will definitely try this recipe again, but I will cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This was a delicious and easy recipe. I didn't have any spinach on hand, so I used kale instead. It was still very good.
