Cajun Chicken Stuffed with Pepper Jack Cheese & Spinach

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded (you can use up to 6 oz) *I didn't measure this out.  Just eyeball it!
1 c frozen spinach, thawed & drained  *Didn't measure this either.  I just cooked up some fresh spinach!
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp breadcrumbs *I did a mix of regular and panko
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

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

Directions

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 with toothpicks.

Brush each chicken breast with the vegetable 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!

Enjoy!
