Ingredients
  • 1 Medium Onion, Diced
  • 1 Cup Each of Red, Green & Yellow Bell Peppers, Diced
  • Salt/Pepper to Taste
  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Cup of Kraft Fat Free Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
  • 2 Tablespoons of Cajun Seasoning
  • Vegetable Cooking Spray
  • Fresh Spinach, Optional, but delicious!
Instructions
  1. Spray a large ovenproof skillet (I use cast iron), liberally with vegetable cooking spray over medium heat. When skillet is hot, add onion and peppers.If using fresh spinach, add it in as well. Cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are soft and season with salt/pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. With a sharp paring knife, create a pocket in the chicken breast by slicing it on the side. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff each breast with the vegetable mixture. Top with ¼ cup of cheddar cheese onto each breast and put back into skillet. Season chicken with the Cajun seasoning and salt/pepper.
  3. Put in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  4. This makes 4 servings at 0 SmartPoints per serving on the Blue and Purple Plans. On the Green Plan, it is 6 SmartPoints per serving. Enjoy!
