Cheese and Pepper stuffed Grilled Chicken Breasts

Tender grilled Chicken breasts stuffed with sautéed bell peppers, onion and cheese. This tasty stuffed chicken is sure to spice up your dinner routine and make you think twice about making un-stuffed chicken the next time you cook!
I love quick and simple dinner recipes that don’t take a ton of time to make. This is one of my favorite “fancy” flavorful chicken dishes that is surprisingly easy to make and keeps the chicken tender and moist.

The chicken is split in half and stuffed with sautéed bell peppers and onion. Two slices of Crystal Farms® Provolone Cheese are then sandwiched in between. The final touch is a Cajun spice mixed that is rubbed all over the chicken to give it extra flavor when cooked.

To cook the chicken, You can grill it on an outdoor grill until charred and tender, or cook it on a stove top grill pan and enjoy this meal anytime of the week!
To get a melted gooey center, use your favorite melting cheese. I like to use provolone or Gouda cheese slices in this chicken because they melt very well and make the perfect gooey filling!
