Ingredients

For the Chicken

24 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 mini bell peppers (sliced)
2 tsp minced garlic
4 oz low fat cream cheese (softened)
½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

For the Cajun Seasonong

1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp spicy Dan-O's seasoning
¼ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp dried oregano

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
2
Place the sliced mini bell peppers along the bottom of the dish and then place the chicken breasts on top of the mini bell peppers. I find that the peppers cook better this way.
3
Combine all the spices for the Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Evenly sprinkle the Cajun seasoning and minced garlic on top of the chicken breasts.
4
Place the cold slices of cream cheese on top of the chicken breasts and then top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
5
Bake for 30 minutes. To serve, scoop the mini bell pepper slices from underneath the chicken on top and enjoy!
