Cajun-Stuffed Chicken

This Cajun-Stuffed Chicken is a dish that I make each year without fail for my annual New Orleans inspired Mardi Gras feast. I love to gather a bunch of my oldest friends and family together to eat delicious food and to celebrate the spirit of the New Orleans carnival even if we are not there in person. 

This stuffed cajun chicken is a fabulously simple dish when entertaining guests as you can prepare it in advance and simply throw it in a preheated oven for about 25 minutes before you are ready to serve. 

To make Cajun-Stuffed Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:

Wasn't too sure I'd be able to make this but thanks to the easy steps I was able to follow and nail it on the first try :)

Emiliana Borroel

Really delicious even added some sundried tomatos to the inside of it too.

Abbie Stinchfield

Nicely made the bell pepper makes it a bit tangy and spicy and the cajun seasoning makes the meat flavorful without waiting an hour for the seasoning to soak in.

Royalty Dewhurst

Oh my god it's sooo good I made less than 4 breast though just for myself haha.

Instead of cheddar cheese I used goat cheese cause I'm lactose intolherant, really yummy.

Shay Nein

Goes great with some brown rice and a little bit of squeezed lemon or lime juice on the top, would recommend.

Aliyana Shimmin

WOW this was freaking delicious!

Seraphina Skowronski

It was alright but bell pepper overpowered the chicken flavor.

Skylynn Onasch

Perfect! I made this and some bread pudding for dessert too, both go great with white wine.

Much prefer the cajun pasta it's way more filling than this and you don't need a second thing with it.
