Cajun-Stuffed Chicken

Say goodbye to boring

chicken dinners—this Cajun-stuffed chicken is here to shake up your weeknight rotation. Stuffed with peppers and cheese, this spiced chicken is packed with flavor, but ready to be served in under an hour. If you’re looking for a cheap and easy dinner you can rely on, then this stuffed chicken recipe should be a new go-to in your chicken recipe repertoire.

Tip: While you can totally use store-bought, we love to use our homemade Cajun seasoning. Make it for this recipe, then store it to use in countless weeknight dinners (we’re looking at you, Cajun shrimp). Feel free to get creative with the fillings—just make sure not to over-stuff your chicken.
