• Kosher salt: as needed for seasoning
• Freshly ground black pepper: to taste
• Chicken breasts: 4, boneless and skinless

Directions

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Using a sharp paring knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff the pockets with the sautéed vegetable mixture and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Generously season the chicken with Cajun seasoning, along with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3:
Place the stuffed chicken breasts into the skillet and transfer it to the oven. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Serve hot and enjoy!
