Spinach & Jack Cheese Stuffed Chicken

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Pound to flatten the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, combine the pepper-jack cheese, spinach, salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Combine the Cajun seasoning and breadcrumbs together in a small bowl; set aside.

5. 5

   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. This part requires a tiny bit of skill, and 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 so you can remove that same number!

6. 6

   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).

7. 7

   Place the chicken seam-side up onto a tin foil-lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
