Cajun Chicken Rollatini

I am pretty sure you can't go wrong with pounding out a chicken breast & stuffing it with cheese.  This chicken has a nice heat to it & is very fast to put together for dinner.  I loved the crispy topping & the chicken turned out juicy & flavorful.  You can never have enough chicken dinner ideas.  This one is a keeper!

Cajun Chicken Rollatini

Recipe adapted from Cooking Creation by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

• 2 large chicken breasts, cut in half to make 4 pieces
• 4 slices of pepper jack cheese
• 1 packed cup of spinach, chiffonade (or rough chopped)
• 2 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning (I LOVE Weber N'Orleans Cajun!)
• 1 Tbsp breadcrumbs (I used Italian style)
• 1 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
• Canola Oil
• Salt & Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350*F.
2. Pound out chicken to 1/4-1/2" thick.  Season breasts with salt & pepper.
3. Place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of chicken, top with some chopped spinach & roll up.  Place seam side down onto a greased cookie sheet.  (Optional cover cookie sheet with foil for quicker clean-up.)  Repeat with all chicken pieces.
4. In a bowl, combine cajun seasoning, breadcrumbs, & parmesan cheese.  Brush each chicken breast with canola oil or if you have a kitchen spritzer like I do, use that & spray the tops.  Then sprinkle the seasoning mixture all around each breast.  Discard any extra seasoning.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165*F.  Serve & enjoy!
