Cajun chicken

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Place thinly sliced bell peppers on the bottom of the casserole dish.

Place chicken breasts on top (so that the peppers will cook underneath the chicken).

Generously sprinkle Cajun seasoning all over the chicken breasts. You don't have to use all the seasoning. Top with minced garlic.

Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of cream cheese.

Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake the chicken uncovered at 375 F in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Broil for 2 minutes, if desired.

To serve, scoop the bell peppers from underneath the chicken. Place them evenly around the chicken and on top.

Notes

The cooking time depends on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
Store leftovers in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
