Cajun Spinach Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 oz pepperjack cheese (I used a block but you can use shredded)

1 cup of frozen spinach, thawed and drained (I used cooked fresh spinach)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp cajun seasoning

1 tbsp Italian style bread crumbs

salt, to taste

pepper, to taste

toothpicks

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Flatten chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.  In a small bowl, combine pepperjack cheese, spinach, salt and pepper.  In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs and cajun seasoning. Spoon about 1/4 cup of spinach mixture into each chicken breast.  Roll the breasts up and pin shut with the toothpicks.  Brush each chicken breast with olive oil and roll them in the breadcrumbs mixture.  Place the breasts in a glass pan (seam side down) and coat with the remaining breadcrumb and spinach mixtures.  Bake 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.  Remove the toothpicks and serve warm.  

I served mine with quinoa.  Enjoy!
