Cajun Chicken Stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese & Spinach

Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time40 minutes mins
Total Time55 minutes mins
Course: Main
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4
Author: Hip Foodie Mom, adapted from Cooking Creation

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese shredded (you can use up to 6 oz & more to sprinkle on top if desired)
  • 1 c frozen spinach thawed and drained (you can also use fresh cooked spinach)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning – see below for the homemade Cajun spice recipe
  • 1 tbsp breadcrumbs or panko
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Special equipment: Toothpicks and a meat tenderizer
  • Cajun Seasoning Mix
  • 3/4 tbsp paprika
  • 3/4 tsp onion salt
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1/8 tsp oregano

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Flatten the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella 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 your toothpicks. I only used 1 toothpick per chicken breast but you can use as many as you need to close your chicken.
  • Brush each chicken breast with the olive oil. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning mixture evenly over all. 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. Sprinkle additional cheese if desired while chicken is still hot.
