Chicken, Cheese, Spinach and breadcrumbs plus seasoning. That’s it. This is a SUPER easy recipe that your family will love. I mean…what’s NOT to love?
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 lb
4 oz pepper jack cheese, sliced into thin 1/4 inch slices
1/2 c cooked spinach (frozen and thawed or sauteed fresh)
1 tbsp seasoned bread crumb
1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a sharp knife, make slits in the chicken breasts width wise that are about 3/4 inches apart, making sure not to cut all the way down through the bottom of the chicken breast. You will have about 7 or 8 slits per chicken breast, depending on how large your chicken breasts are.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Stuff the spinach and pepper jack slices in the slits of the chicken. (I’ve found that it’s easier to place the cheese in before the spinach.)
- Combine the bread crumb and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Place each chicken breast on its own lightly greased sheet of tin foil and make a “bowl” loosely surrounding each chicken breast. This keeps the juices contained.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove each chicken breast from its tin foil “bowl” and place on a serving dish.
